Economic Outlook, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook, At The Council On Foreign Relations, New York, New York

Date 03/06/2025

Thank you, Michael. I am honored to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations.

I would like to congratulate you on becoming president of this august body. I have known Mike for some time. In fact, he helped me when I was a graduate student working on my dissertation on Eastern Europe at the University of California, Berkeley and visited the Treasury Department. I am grateful for your generosity during that time and over my career, Mike. I also want to thank the Council on Foreign Relations for awarding me a postdoctoral International Affairs Fellowship that allowed me to serve at the Treasury Department. This fellowship provided a transformational experience, and today, as a Federal Reserve Governor, I regularly draw on the significant lessons I learned during the 2000–01 period. I am glad to see this important program still going strong.
