“U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said it would be ‘a long time, if ever’ before the U.S. dollar was replaced as the key reserve currency in the global economy.”

USAGOLD note: We will file this quote from the Treasury Secretary in the same folder with the one from 2017 when as Fed chair, she asked, “Would I say there will never, ever be another financial crisis? You know probably that would be going too far, but I do think we’re much safer, and I hope that it will not be in our lifetimes, and I don’t believe it will be.” And the one from May 2021 when she told the Wall Street Journal CEO Council that inflation was “transitory” and did not anticipate it would be a problem for the U.S. economy.
