The Federal Reserve will continue to "forcefully deploy" its entire arsenal to fight the finance crisis, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said while speaking in Dillon, South Carolina on Saturday.
While his speech contained no other comments on monetary policy or the economy, he did highlight the extraordinary action taken by the Federal Reserve during the financial crisis in the United States.
The Fed chief spoke at a dedication ceremony in Dillon, which named an interchange after him, honouring his service to the United States.
