Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Tuesday that aggressive policy help for the economy needs to continue.
“The risks of overdoing it seem, for now, to be smaller,” the central bank chief told the National Association for Business Economics.
Taking the foot off the gas now could risk thwarting a recovery that Powell said has been quicker than expected.
