SPECIAL ADDRESS BY US TREASURY SECRETARY JANET L. YELLEN - United States Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen spoke at the Atlantic Council on April 13, 2022, on the way forward for the global economy in the wake of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. Secretary Yellen delivered this important speech one week before the world’s finance ministers and central bank governors convened in Washington for the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings.

The global economy is facing significant headwinds in 2022 and U.S. leadership remains vital for the stability of the international financial system. On sanctions and beyond, international cooperation has never been more critical. Secretary Yellen shared the Biden Administration’s plan to build a more resilient and inclusive U.S. and global economy in the years ahead. Following her speech, Secretary Yellen participated in a conversation with Financial Times global business columnist and associate editor Rana Foroohar.
