U.S. Treasury Secretary: Yellen and Hassett as Fed Chair are both "very, very qualified"

BlockBeats News, December 16th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Benson: There may be one or two more interviews for the Fed Chair this week. Trump has been very straightforward on policy-related issues during the interviews. Both Warsh and Hassett are "very, very qualified."

Benson also refuted the view that Hassett is unable to serve on the Fed, while also dismissing the notion that a new chair would result in the Fed no longer being independent. (FXStreet)
