Welcome for the new Chairman of The Federal Reserve
24 October 2005
Welcoming the appointment of Ben Bernanke as next chairman of the Federal Reserve, Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, said:
“The nomination of Ben Bernanke as the next chairman
of the Federal Reserve will be warmly welcomed around the world.
It will not be easy to follow in Alan Greenspan’s footsteps,
but Ben has the intellectual and personal qualities to lead
the Federal Reserve in the years ahead. I would like to extend
my personal congratulations to Ben, whom I have known since
we had adjoining offices at MIT when we were both visiting professors
there in the early 1980s.”
