“Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said the central bank may hold the benchmark lending rate near zero even if unemployment and inflation hit its near-term policy targets. U.S. central bankers are focusing the full force of monetary policy on reviving growth and reducing 7.9 percent unemployment, using near-zero interest rates and a program of unprecedented bond buying. Yellen’s comments reflect the view of some policy makers that there is a risk of damaging the expansion by raising rates too early.”
