Powell, Q&A: We will not attribute "substantial further progress" to the numbers:

  • The interest rate and balance sheet tools, which provide powerful support for the economy, will continue to be used;

  • The current economic downturn is the most severe of all;

  • Recovery may require continued support from both fiscal and monetary policy;

  • I will not denote substantial progress by specific numbers;

  • Employment should be "substantially" closer to full employment.
