Boston Fed president Rosengren: Excessive risk-taking behavior prior to COVID-19 is likely to delay U.S. recovery

  • More fiscal and monetary accommodation is appropriate now that second wave of COVID-19 infections is underway in U.S.
  • Women and minority workers are disproportionately impacted by excessive risk-taking by service sector firms
  • Imbalanced human toll of COVID-19 on vulnerable workers in labor market is bad for economy and democracy
  • A potential cost of Fed's new policy is that low rates encourage households and firms to take on more leverage and risk
  • This is an important time to focus on preventing the buildup of financial imbalances
