U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Monday that improved communication helps the public understand the Fed's policy intention and rationale, which is key to the legitimacy of the central bank.
"Improved communication can help our policies work better, whether through the disclosure of bank stress-test results or by helping the public and market participants better understand how monetary policy is likely to evolve," said Bernanke at a Fed event celebrating the institution's centennial.
The central bank chief said the Fed's ability to make and implement decisions ultimately depends on the public's understanding and acceptance of its actions.
"Clarity, transparency, and accountability help build public confidence in the Federal Reserve, which is essential if it is to be successful in fostering stability and prosperity," said Bernanke, who is set to step down at the end of January and to be replaced by vice chairwoman Janet Yellen, whose nomination awaits Senate confirmation.
"We must do all that we can to explain our actions and to show how they serve the public interest. That's why we must welcome communication, broadly defined," he added.
Promoting greater transparency has been an important goal Bernanke pursued in his tenure. The Fed adopted 2 percent as its target for inflation two years ago, and relied more heavily on " forward guidance" as a tool to stimulate economy as the short-term interest rates have been stuck near zero since late 2008.
The Fed policy-setting committee will hold a two-day meeting from Tuesday to Wednesday. Top officials will discuss whether the U.S. economy is strong enough to justify a tapering of its 85- billion-dollar monthly asset purchase.
Without specifically mentioning future monetary policy actions or the U.S economy, Bernanke said the Fed's work on achieving a full economic recovery from the crisis is "still ongoing."
The Fed was created by the Federal Reserve Act, which was signed into law by former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson on Dec. 23, 1913.

美國聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備委員會(huì)主席伯南克１６日說，溝通策略有助于公眾更好地理解美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)政策背后的邏輯和意圖，從而能使貨幣政策更好地發(fā)揮作用。
伯南克當(dāng)天出席美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)成立百年的紀(jì)念活動(dòng)時(shí)說，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)過去幾年中最重要的挑戰(zhàn)，即刺激經(jīng)濟(jì)完全復(fù)蘇的挑戰(zhàn)，仍在繼續(xù)。美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)這幾年應(yīng)對金融危機(jī)和經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，從某種意義上說，與央行之前履行的提供流動(dòng)性和穩(wěn)定金融市場等職責(zé)沒有太多不同；但從另一個(gè)角度說，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的政策從規(guī)模和范圍上說都前所未有，所使用的工具也超出了傳統(tǒng)貨幣政策工具的范疇。
伯南克認(rèn)為，五年前的金融危機(jī)和以往爆發(fā)的金融危機(jī)存在可比性，但其所處的經(jīng)濟(jì)和金融環(huán)境肯定是不同的，在很多方面比過去更為復(fù)雜。
伯南克說，面對更加復(fù)雜的形勢，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)不得不在政策上尋求創(chuàng)新以履行央行職能，加強(qiáng)政策溝通和增強(qiáng)透明度都是這種努力的體現(xiàn)。加強(qiáng)政策交流能幫助公眾理解貨幣政策如何演變，而且清晰、透明和負(fù)責(zé)任的政策有助于建立公眾對美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的信心，這對美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)政策產(chǎn)生效用至關(guān)重要。
本周，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)將成為市場關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)。美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的決策機(jī)構(gòu)——聯(lián)邦公開市場委員會(huì)將于１７日至１８日召開本年度最后一次政策會(huì)議，量化寬松的退出策略將是決策層官員討論的重點(diǎn)。此外，美國國會(huì)參議院預(yù)計(jì)將就美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)下一任主席珍妮特·耶倫的提名舉行全院投票。若順利通過，現(xiàn)任美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)副主席耶倫將接替明年１月底結(jié)束任期的伯南克，成為美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的首位女性主席。
美國聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備系統(tǒng)依據(jù)美國聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備法建立。該法案１９１３年１２月２３日由美國前總統(tǒng)伍德羅·威爾遜簽署生效，確定了美國聯(lián)邦儲(chǔ)備系統(tǒng)的基本框架。
