We will not support returning Fannie and Freddie to the role they played before conservatorship, where they fought to take market share from private competitors while enjoying the privilege of government support.

We judged that a sudden, disor...

We judged that a sudden, disorderly failure of Bear would have brought with it unpredictable but severe consequences for the functioning of the broader financial system and the broader economy, with lower equity prices, further downward pressure on home values, and less access to credit for companies and households.

This crisis is not simply a mo...

This crisis is not simply a more severe version of the usual business cycle recession, the typical downturn in which economies ultimately adjust and stabilize.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

This crisis exposed very signi...

This crisis exposed very significant problems in the financial systems of the United States and some other major economies. Innovation got too far out in front of the knowledge of risk.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

There is a basic lesson on fin...

There is a basic lesson on financial crises that governments tend to wait too long, underestimate the risks, want to do too little. And it ultimately gets away from them, and they end up spending more money, causing much more damage to the economy.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The world is likely to view an...

The world is likely to view any temporary extension of the income tax cuts for the top two percent as a prelude to a long-term or permanent extension, and that would hurt economic recovery as well by undermining confidence that we're prepared to make a commitment today to bring down our future deficits.

The substantial uncertainty ab...

The substantial uncertainty about the path of asset price movements going forward necessarily reduces the case for altering policy in advance of the move.

The rest of the world needs th...

The rest of the world needs the US economy and financial system to recover in order for it to revive. We remain at the center of global economic activity with financial and trade ties to every region of the globe.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The recognition that things th...

The recognition that things that are not sustainable will eventually come to an end does not give us much of a guide to whether the transition will be calm or exciting.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The plausible outcomes range f...

The plausible outcomes range from the gradual and benign to the more precipitous and damaging.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The major economic policy chal...

The major economic policy challenges facing the nation today - pick your favorites among the usual suspects of low public and household savings, concerns about educational quality and achievement, high and rising income inequality, the large imbalances between our social insurance commitments and resources - are not about monetary policy.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The government can help, but w...

The government can help, but we need to make this transition now to a recovery led by private investment, private.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

The choice is between which mi...

The choice is between which mistake is easier to correct: underdoing it or overdoing it.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

Some think that by preparing to deal with crises you make them more likely. I think the wiser judgment is the contrary. In this area at least, if you want peace or stability, it's better to prepare for war or instability.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

Never before in modern times has so much of the world been simultaneously hit by a confluence of economic and financial turmoil such as we are now living through.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

Most consequential choices involve shades of gray, and some fog is often useful in getting things done.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

Monetary policy itself cannot ...

Monetary policy itself cannot sensibly be directed at reducing imbalances.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

Looking past the immediate cri...

Looking past the immediate crisis, a more resilient system must be built on stronger and better designed shock absorbers, both in the major institutions and in the infrastructure of the financial system.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

It is very important for people to understand that the United States of America and no country around the world can devalue its way to prosperity, to be competitive. It is not a viable, feasible strategy, and we will not engage in it.

Timothy Franz Geithner 27 quotes

In the financial system we have today, with less risk concentrated in banks, the probability of systemic financial crises may be lower than in traditional bank-centered financial systems.
