READOUT: Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen’s Meeting
with the Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America
December 13, 2021

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen met virtually today with the
Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America (MBCA), a coalition of banks serving local and regional
communities with assets between $10 and $100 billion, to discuss the economic recovery and
the Biden-Harris Administrationʼs economic agenda.
Secretary Yellen noted the strength of the economic recovery and underscored the
importance of continued progress against COVID-19 to the economyʼs continued recovery. She
highlighted how the recently signed bipartisan infrastructure law will help increase long term
economic growth and American competitiveness. She also stressed the importance of passing
President Bidenʼs Build Back Better Act to lower costs for families, boost labor force
participation, and tackle vital issues, like climate change.
The participants shared their perspectives on the economic recovery and the Presidentʼs
Working Group Report on Stablecoins. Secretary Yellen also noted the important work taking
place this week in Congress to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by raising
the debt ceiling.
