From bostonfed.org|Nov 12, 2025It is a pleasure to join you today for the Boston Fed’s 24th annual Regional and Community Bankers Conference. I want to thank all of you for attending, and for the constructive engagement that you have with the Federal Reserve. The “North Star” for us at the Boston Fed is a vibrant economy that works for everyone. That requires a resilient financial and banking system. The Federal Reserve supports that in a number of ways – and constructive engagement, with banks and many other stakeholders, is a key ingredient.
