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.

Overall the Fed now holds a record $7 trillion in U.S. public debt.
