Congress Needs a More Fiscally Sustainable Path

BWC Vice Chair Rebecca Patterson joins Bloomberg to discuss ways to lower longer-term bond yields, including addressing oil prices, the fiscal deficit, and potential market interventions. She notes that the U.S. Treasury market remains the strongest among global government bond markets due to its size and liquidity, though shifting investor demand could create challenges. Patterson also discusses the importance of considering long-term Social Security sustainability as policymakers look ahead.
