financial conditions unless they tighten significantly, effectively comfortable with the easing of financialonditions. when they hike, conditions are going to tighten. between now and september, if you get a significant tightening and that that is essentially crying wolf, we are not going to hike, i think you need to clarify that the tightening and financial conditions was enough of a threat, but as of today, if growth continues as expected, and the fed does not go, we're not expect in the go in june, but we decided to stall this, does not mean we are not going in july, they could keep talking about july probability. -- een july and december, >> if they did not go in june, with baby or two lower their dot plot? how do they have a hawkish lowering of the.? >> -- lowering of the dot? july and sayo november or december, so there is still some gap and the key assumption would he that financial commissions -- conditions do not tighten. dollarket new where the was so when they came in and height. , the expected financial conditions would be unchanged. in a mini version, in the second half of the y

financial transactions in financial institutions around the world take place in dollars.that is very different than a u-turn where our financial system is part of the transaction. and i think some of the opponents of the iran deal have tried to conflate the two. you know, as long as the dollar is the reserve currency of the world, it will be used in financial systems other than the united states. that is very different than opening the u.s. financial system. mr. cook: david lawder from reuters. >> thanks, dave. i just want to come back to the swift network. is the swift network safe? has the treasury tested it and did you find that it is secure? also, on the g-7, a lot of these countries are having very much difficulty with china's imports from china right now. a lot of their overcapacity is coming to their shores, including ours. what sort of message will the g-7 have for china, given that china really will not be at the table. mr. lew: i am not comment on any of the specific investigations that are going on now regarding the cyber issues other than to say that every tim

financial shock. shock occurs and income does not suffice, the least it spend the solution is for families to turn to their liquid savings. perfect storm the i was referencing earlier. what we're trying to do with our research is think beyond income. income is a very important metric for understanding where families fall in the overall distribution. it is not sufficient if we really want to understand whether they are financially secure. been looking at lots of different metrics, including incidents of financial shock, which in research we have done, shows that 60% of experience an unexpected financial shock in the previous months. $2000.ical shock costs most families just do not have that kind of liquid savings on hand. expensing of financial shock as well as fluctuations in their incomes and expenses, it leaves them in a precarious place. it becomes a cycle of not having enough and being constantly stressed. host: the april job figures are the bureau of labor statistics, unemployment rate, 5%, jobs

and what happens when you have financial institutions that make it through a financial crisis unscathed, that can lead to husband ris. so they overexpose themselves going into the next downturn. i think that's what's at the heart of what bank of the ozarks is doing. they've taken their new york lending book from zero to -- to mostly construction lending. it borders on ridiculous. >> carson, we've got to leave it there. great to speak with you. >> thank you. >> carson block of muddy waters. so there are two things to unpack here. the call on buybacks, and accounting, aggressive accounting. >> dan nathan talks about this all the time, the difference between nongap, and gap. when companies disclose, they talk whether it's gap or nongap. so it's out there. he just said, there's nothing illegal about this. it's for you to do your homework. i think the point is, the chasm between the two continues to widen. i don't know how wide it can get. but that's the direction it's headed. at some point something comes home to roost. >> the other aspect is the buybacks. we've heard that for so long. cars

because when you get a financial package, it's just on paper. you don't get to know, if you are a student that doesn't have responsibility for finances yet, it's a lot of money, you may not have the $70,000, $80,000 job that you are expecting. it may not happen that way. so students are not prepared for that. >> well, kind of what david is saying, people aren't really prepared in high school for that type of debt. mentally i would like to consider it an investment of sorts. you may not be paying off the debt immediately or in the next year after graduating. in the end. >>> you are going to be making more money than without a college degree. >> i'm hearing a bit of optimism and positivity in your voices, it's overwhelming and it's a topic that you chose because it's so relevant. you don't seem to be as concerned that this is a doomsday scenario. >> no, there's other options, and you can have other programs that cover the loans. if you have a good job. and you have family members, it could get easier for you. so i have a bit of optimism. >> i hear

we are focused on financial stability. conditions that could potentially results in another financial crisis. i think we have a better understanding of how to look for those conditions, and we are putting a lot of resources and intellectual effort into doing just that. we now have an entire division of financial stability at the fed. with respect to our supervision of the banking system, really the most important thing is that we are bringing in new mindset to how we supervise the largest and most systemic firms. instead of taking a trees approach in this institution or looks safe and sound, we're taking -- thinking about the interconnection among this firm and their connections with other parts of the financial system. this is sometimes called a macro prudential approach, might of the micro-prudential approach. beyond that, in terms of regulating the financial sector and making the banking system safer and sounder, i think we accomplished a lot. the amount of capital in the banking system, and this is particularly true fo

in fact, they have the most to lose through financial advisors' hidden fees and complicated financial products with lower returns. it's time we protect these so-called small savers from conflicted, biased advice. mr. president, over the years, millions of families have worked hard. they have put their money away for retirement and they have invested their savings to grow their retirement nest eggs. in short, they have tried to do everything right. unfortunately, some financial advisors have not always done the right thing. they haven't had to, and that needs to change. but the resolution that the republicans are offering today would be a major step backwards, so i urge my colleagues to reject this resolution, and instead of attacking families' best chance at guaranteed, unbiased retirement advice, i would hope my republican colleagues will instead work with democrats to ensure more seniors can have a secure retirement, expand their economic security and help our economy grow from the middle out, not from the top down. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. and i suggest the abse

its financial situation is dire. we place the postal service on our high risk list in 2009 where it remains today. today i would discuss the factors effecting the postal service's deteriorating financial condition, the status of unfunded liabilities and choices congress faces to address these financial challenges. the postal service's financial struggles are well documents. in 2007, it has lost over $56 billion. the situation is primarily caused by a decline in mail volume, particularly in first class mail combined with increased in expenses, largely because of salary increases, compensation in benefits alone will add costs. the gap between revenue and costs continues despite the efficiency initiatives undertaken by the postal service. regarding unfunded liabilities and costs, they are a large growing burden on the postal service. at the end of 2015, they all 5 $125 billion in debt which accounted for 82% of its revenues. retirement benefits -- the postal service stopped making required payments in 2011 and not expec

what role should financial stability played in setting monetary policy? >> i've been talking to good questions. >> you are the author, peter. >> i believe the fed should not be in the financial stability business. i believe we have the fdic, and i think that should be sufficient so it should strengthen the fdic and take the fed out of. the reason for that is because it creates conflicts within. multipurpose agencies generally don't do a good job. the best job gets done if you concentrate their minds on the task that they're supposed to carry out. and for the fed that's clearly monetary policy. >> quickpoint from alex. >> the original purpose of the fed in creating so-called elastic currency was financial stability. and, in fact, that the time of the foundation of the fed they were forecasts that th they woud to longer be any financial crises or cycles once we have the fed. obviously a a very poor forecat spent by the best forecasts we've ever had it turns out. they're all so bad last night but on the point of regulation, i wrote about your book and "the w

the apparently elevated sensitivity of financial conditions to monetary policy. uncertainty about the location of supply-side constraints provides another reason for gradualism. there are potential concerns with this gradual approach, however. it's possible that monetary policy could push resource utilization too high and inflation could move temporarily above target. in an era of anchored inflation expectations undershooting of the natural rate of unemployment should result in a temporary increase in the inflation rate. but running the economy above its potential growth rate for an extended period could involve significant risks. a long period of very low interest rates could lead to excessive risk taking and over time to unsustainably high asset prices and credit growth. macroprudential and other policies are designed to reduce both the likelihood of such an outcome and the severity of the consequences if it does occur. but it is not certain that these tools would prove adequate in a financial system in which intermediation takes place outside the regulated ban
