Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said Tuesday that ethical behavior from the Fed allows the public to trust it is acting on its behalf.
"The Federal Reserve's very effectiveness in setting monetary policy depends on the public's assured confidence that we act only in its interest," she said. "We must act ethically and we must demonstrate our ethical standards in ways that leave little room for doubt."
Ms. Yellen spoke at a ceremony honoring her and her predecessor at the central bank, Ben Bernanke. She did not discuss the economy or monetary policy in her remarks.
