Federal Reserve press conference, 2017-03-15 — Chair Janet Yellen

Question (Peter Barnes, Fox Business): Peter Barnes, Fox Business, ma’am. Speaking of fiscal policy, have you had a chance to meet with the new Treasury Secretary yet, Mr. Mnuchin? If not, when will you meet with him? What do you want to talk to him about? And, separately, have you had a chance to talk to President Trump yet or meet with him? And, if not, would you like to, and would you, and what would you talk about? Thank you.
Answer: I’ve met a couple of times with the Treasury Secretary, and I’m getting to know him. And I think, you know, it’s traditional for Fed Chairs and Treasury Secretaries to meet on a regular basis, and I fully expect to have a strong relationship with Secretary Mnuchin. We have had very good discussions about the economy, about regulatory objectives, the work of the FSOC, global economic developments, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. I was introduced to the President. I had a very brief meeting and appreciated that as well.
