The newest member of the Federal Reserve insists the central bank won’t fall prey to political pressure to keep interest rates low to help the government cheaply finance its huge and growing debt.

Waller, who joined the board last December, said in his first public remarks the Fed’s actions “will continue to be guided solely” by it legal obligation to ensure stable inflation and low unemployment. The Fed itself has purchased about $2.5 trillion in Treasurys during the pandemic to keep interest rates low and help foster an economic recovery. Overall the Fed now holds a record $7 trillion in U.S. public debt.
