WASHINGTON, July 14 ― US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will discuss the hot housing market and its risks with fellow regulators on Friday, Bloomberg News reported.
The aim of the meeting would be to make sure the country is not vulnerable to a crisis similar to what happened in 2008, when the bursting of the housing bubble sent the US and global economies into a deep recession, the report said. Yellen's team is aware that a sudden relapse in housing prices could pose a risk to the US economy, the news agency said, citing sources.
However, the Treasury is confident that the financial stability risks associated with the sector are manageable, Bloomberg said.Wall Street Journal“I am a little bit concerned that we're feeding into an incipient housing bubble...I think we don't need to be doing that with the economy growing at 7 per cent,” Bullard told the Journal.
Yellen's meeting with Powell will be the first time that the Financial Stability Oversight Council discusses concerns about the housing market in a substantial way, the Bloomberg report added, citing sources. ― Reuters
