Introductory Remarks: Municipal Securities Disclosure Conference, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, June 16, 2020

Date 16/06/2020

I am looking forward to today’s discussions about secondary market disclosure and appreciate the participation of experts from across the country. Municipal market dynamics in recent months have unsettled municipal issuers, municipal investors, and market observers. Although primary and secondary municipal markets have begun to regain their footing, the same COVID uncertainty that plagues the rest of society continues to hover over municipal issuers—many of which face increased costs and decreasing revenues—and the markets in which their securities trade. That uncertainty is relevant to the secondary market disclosure issues we are discussing today, but is only a small piece of the discussion. As today’s agenda acknowledges, we cannot look at concerns around COVID disclosure without thinking about the bigger picture.
U.S. Economic Outlook And Monetary Policy (Via Pre-recorded Video), Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard H. Clarida, At The Foreign Policy Association, New York, New York

Date 16/06/2020

It is my pleasure to meet virtually this evening with the members and invited guests of the Foreign Policy Association (FPA).1 I am truly honored to receive the Foreign Policy Association Medal. Past honorees have included Sheila Bair, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Paul Volcker, Jean-Claude Trichet, and my Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) colleague John Williams—and so with this award, I am indeed in select company. Although I have been very much looking forward to receiving this award in person, that, of course, is not possible tonight, but I greatly look forward to attending a future dinner to convey in person my genuine appreciation to the members of the FPA for this special honor. Since mid-March, I, along with my FOMC colleagues, have been working from home. Indeed, just last week, we held our scheduled June meeting via secure teleconference. And while I certainly miss the opportunities for face-to-face interactions along the corridors of the Board's Eccles Building, I am grateful to have the ability to work from home and want to convey my deep gratitude to all of those on the frontlines of the crisis, who are working outside the comfort of their homes in grocery stores, hospitals, and other businesses that provide essential services.
