伯南克：美联储将在需要时“采取行动” 英国《金融时报》2007 年 9 月 3 日 美联储(Federal Reserve) 主席伯南克 (Ben Bernanke)上周五表示，美 联储将在需要的时候采取 行动，缓解近来市场动荡对 经济的影响。人们对上述讲 话的普遍理解为：它开启了 降息的可能性。 Ben Bernanke said on Friday the Federal Reserve would act as needed to ease the impact of recent market turmoil on the economy, in a speech widely interpreted as opening the door to possible interest rate cuts. 大多数分析师认为，上述讲 话是一种信号，表明美联储 实际上已确定将在 9 月 18 日召开的政策会议上下调 利率，只不过伯南克没有在 这方面做出任何承诺。他表 示，市场动荡（对经济）的 影响仍未确定。 Most analysts viewed the remarks as a sign that the Fed is virtually certain to lower rates at its September 18 policy meeting, although the Fed chairman, who said the effects of market turmoil remained uncertain, did not make any commitment to do so. 这是自大约 3 周前流动性 危机开始加剧以来，伯南克 最为具体的讲话。他表示， 央行不会仅仅为了给投资 者纾困而降息。他表示：“美 联储没有责任保护银行和 投资者免受他们自己财务 决定所造成后果的影响，这 样做也不合适。” In his most detailed remarks on the liquidity crisis since it began to intensify some three weeks ago, Mr Bernanke made it clear the central bank would not cut rates merely to bail out investors. He said: “It is not the responsibility of the Federal Reserve – nor would it be appropriate – to protect lenders and investors from the consequences of their financial decisions.” 但他补充称，金融市场的走 势“可能对市场之外的许多 领 域 产 生 广泛 的 经 济 影 响。” But he added that developments in financial markets “can have broad economic effects felt by many outside the markets”. 在怀俄明州杰克逊霍尔年 会上，伯南克向各国央行行 长表示，美联储将“在需要 的时候采取行动，抑制金融 市场混乱可能给更广泛的 经济带来的负面影响。” The Fed would “act as needed to limit the adverse effects on the broader economy that may arise from the disruptions in markets”, Mr Bernanke told central bankers at their annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming
