Federal Reserve press conference, 2017-06-14 — Chair Janet Yellen

Question (Michael McKee, Bloomberg): And the characterization of you as a low interest rate person?
Answer: Well, I have felt that it’s been appropriate for interest rates to remain low for a very long time. We are in the process of, as the economy strengthens, normalizing interest rates. But, certainly, we’ve had a lot of years in which interest rates have been low. I thought it was necessary to support the economy at that time and was strongly in favor of those policies.
