Fed’s Williams: 'Will Not Be Long' Before Reserves At 'Ample’ Level - Repeats Fed Close To Desired Level For Bank Reserves Williams: Remarks at the 2025 U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, New York City On behalf of the New York Fed, let me welcome you all to this year’s U.S. Treasury Market Conference. Many thanks to the distinguished speakers and panelists for joining us here, and to the event organizers for putting together today’s outstanding agenda. I’m looking forward to a valuable and productive conversation. This gathering is a recurring calendar item every fall. But the topics that we discuss each year do not stand alone. Think of it as leveling up in a video game—which is one of my favorite pastimes by the way, or dare I say, “present times”. At each conference, we advance our understanding of the Treasury market to the next level. And in the genre of gaming, this game is multiplayer. It’s remarkable to think about what we’ve accomplished in this decade-long enterprise of interagency collaboration. This work continues to be imperative, so we must keep playing. I mean that in the working sense, of course. Before I keep going, I must give the standard Fed disclaimer that the views I express today are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or others in the Federal Reserve System.

Thank you, Julapa. Good morning, everyone. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and to our Ninth Annual Fintech Conference. As we begin the conference, I’d like to share my perspectives — and some of the questions that I am grappling with as we consider the conference theme: how to harness the benefits and mind the risks of fintech innovations. These are of course my own views, and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve System or my Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) colleagues. As I look around this room, I’m struck by the extraordinary depth and diversity of expertise assembled here today. Technologists and bankers, regulators and entrepreneurs, academics and investors, consumer advocates, and policymakers — all united by a shared interest in the future of finance. This diversity is not incidental to our purpose but essential to it. We are gathered at an important inflection point in the evolution of our financial system. The rapid convergence of cutting-edge technologies with traditional financial infrastructure creates unprecedented opportunities and equally significant challenges that no single perspective can address. Consider the transformation we’ve witnessed in just the past decade. Mobile payments have evolved from novelty to necessity. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing everything from credit decisions to fraud detection. Open banking is redefining the relationship bet Fed's Paulson does not comment on monetary policy, economic outlook in prepared remarks to fintech conference.
