  • Remarks At The Emerging Markets Roundtable, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, July 9, 2020

    Date 14/07/2020

    Thank you, Chairman Clayton.  I am looking forward to today’s discussion on emerging markets.  I approach this topic the same way I approach other issues on the Commission’s agenda.  First, it is important to ensure that investors are able to build portfolios that achieve their objectives and manage risk.  In other words, we should seek to maximize investors’ opportunities so that they can choose the ones that work for them.  Second, it is important to ensure that investors get the information they need to understand those investment opportunities and the associated risks.  A necessary corollary of this is that they do not get misinformation.  Among other things, investors should know what standards apply to companies in which they are considering investing and when a jurisdiction in which they are considering investing is characterized by oversight or transparency challenges.  Investors should know, for example, whether the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) is able to conduct inspections of the auditors of US-listed companies with operations in China.  Third, when we decide regulatory action is necessary to solve a problem, we should strive to minimize the costs it imposes.

  • Statement By The IMF Managing Director On Ukraine

    Date 14/07/2020

    Ms. Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of International Monetary Fund (IMF), made the following statement on Ukraine today:

    “I had an open discussion today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on concerns about the pressures being put on the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).

    “The reform of the NBU and its performance over the past five years is a clear success story for Ukraine. An independent central bank helps macroeconomic stability, supports investors’ confidence, and protects the financial system—all crucial preconditions for investment and growth. The credible policy actions of the NBU have been instrumental in stabilizing the economy. The successful clean-up of the financial sector – which was ravaged by fraud – is also credit to the supervisory work of the NBU."

  • Navigating Monetary Policy Through The Fog Of COVID, Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard, At The Perspectives On The Pandemic Webinar Series, Hosted By The National Association For Business Economics, Washington, D.C. (Via Webcast)

    Date 14/07/2020

    The COVID-19 contraction is unprecedented in modern times for its severity and speed. Following the deepest plunge since the Great Depression, employment and activity rebounded faster and more sharply than anticipated. But the recent resurgence in COVID cases is a sober reminder that the pandemic remains the key driver of the economy's course. A thick fog of uncertainty still surrounds us, and downside risks predominate. The recovery is likely to face headwinds even if the downside risks do not materialize, and a second wave would magnify that challenge. Fiscal support will remain vital. Looking ahead, it likely will be appropriate to shift the focus of monetary policy from stabilization to accommodation by supporting a full recovery in employment and a sustained return of inflation to its 2 percent objective.
