Bowman: The Federal Reserve's Role in Liquidity Strength, Financial Stability, and Resilience

Opening Remarks on the Bank Liquidity Framework

Good morning. I am delighted to join you today as we begin our conversation about the bank liquidity framework. Hal and his colleagues have put together a thoughtful lineup of panels that will help shape our thinking as we look at potential changes to this framework.

The diverse insights from our panelists—including scholars, industry professionals, and policymakers—will deepen our grasp of these intricate topics. Their contributions will also encourage us to critically assess whether our current framework is achieving its goals.

Maintaining adequate liquidity is essential for the strength and stability of the banking sector. Regulatory standards play a crucial role in supporting this resilience.
