Horsham, PA (February 26, 2020) – The Sharp Financial Group (“Sharp”), an integrated financial management firm providing unified business advisory, accounting, tax and wealth management, announced that Randal K. Quarles, Vice Chair for Supervision and member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, presented recently to Money Marketeers of New York University (NYU) members and guests in New York City.
At the event, Vice Chair Quarles discussed monetary policy and economic outlook throughout his presentation. Specifically, he spoke about the need to continue to maintain the sanctity of the banking system to ensure stability remains the cornerstone of the entire economy (both domestic and international). To that end, efforts that have been enacted by both the Federal Reserve System as well as lawmakers have created a solid liquidity foundation for the smooth function of the money markets.
While the current structure is effective, the Vice Chair pointed out that it does not mean that iterations and changes can’t be made to realize improvements. For instance, he argued that policymakers should consider changes that will make it easier to allow banks to treat U.S. treasury holdings as appropriate reserves to meet liquidity requirements. In doing so, he noted that he was not arguing for any decrease in liquidity buffers, but rather a reconstitution of existing assets.
“We were honored to have Vice Chair Quarles present to us,” said Alain Van Loo, Chief Investment Officer at The Sharp Financial Group. “He provided the audience with insights regarding the size of the Fed balance sheet along with his current assessment that interest rates are at an appropriate level with respect to current economic growth. Those insights, in particular, made the evening an intellectually stimulating event.”
Vice Chair Quarles took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. His term as Vice Chair for Supervision ends on October 13, 2021. Mr. Quarles is also chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), an international body that monitors and makes recommendations about the global financial system.
