Minneapolis CNN —Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Monday she believes US inflation remains too high but that a soft landing is on the radar.
During an exclusive interview with CNN’s Melissa Bell from Kyiv, Yellen said the Federal Reserve’s efforts to date to bring down inflation while maintaining a strong labor market appear achievable.
“I would say, ‘So far, so good,’” said Yellen, a former Fed chair who led the central bank from 2014-2018.
But look, inflation still is too high, but generally if you look over the last year, inflation has been coming down.
“It’s utterly essential to preserve that to avoid economic and financial catastrophe,” she told CNN.
