U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell holds a news conference after the Fed raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point following a two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) on interest rate policy in Washington, U.
(Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that he expects and welcomes outside investigations into the banking woes that kicked off with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
"It’s 100% certain there will be independent investigations” into what happened with the banks and the Fed welcomes those inquiries, as it proceeds on its own investigation, Powell said in his press conference following the meeting of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee.
