I’m most honored to be here today. Thanks for inviting me to speak at your 50th annual meeting. For 50 years, NABE has worked to make the discipline of economics more accessible and more useful to its members. And your advocacy over the last decade for better data collection and more accurate economic statistics is improving the analysis that business planners and economic policymakers depend on.
For that, I congratulate NABE on your golden anniversary. And thanks for 50 years of helping make it easier for us to make better decisions. This is also a landmark year for the FDIC. It’s our 75th anniversary.
