Good afternoon!
It is a pleasure to be back with you once again, and I thank today’s organizers and sponsors for making it all possible.
It is also a pleasure to return to the University of Delaware, which you all know holds a very special place in my heart. This university continues to live up to its motto, “Knowledge is the light of the mind,” in everything it does, including opening its doors for forums such as this.
I do not wish to take away from the conversation that will follow, so with your approval, I will start right into my economic outlook.
But obviously, before I can do that, I must first provide the standard Fed disclaimer: The views I express this afternoon are my own and do not necessarily represent those of anyone else in the Federal Reserve System or my colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
A lot has certainly changed since I joined you…
