Fed's Yellen: Economy improving but recovery incomplete

FXStreet (Łódź) - Speaking before the US Senate Banking Committee Fed chair Yellen stresses that economic recovery is not complete yet and that significant support from the central bank remains necessary.

• Too many Americans are still unemployed, while the level of inflation continues below target.

• Labor force participation rate remains weaker than expected, Yellen points out.

• The Fed is also concerned about the US housing recovery–which began to slow down last year and wasn't able to regain much traction so far.

• US growth should continue at moderate pace.
