Exclusive: The 180-Degree Shift in the Treasury Department Under Janet Yellen

Since taking the reins in 2021, Yellen has spearheaded a series of radical initiatives aimed at reshaping the department's approach to economic policy and governance.

Since taking office, Secretary Yellen has been keen to emphasize the need for a more forward-thinking approach to economic policy, leveraging the Treasury's vast resources to drive growth and stability. Speaking exclusively to The New York Times, she underscored the imperative of addressing pressing infrastructure challenges and issues related to climate change. "The Treasury has a critical role to play in ensuring that the US stays competitive in an increasingly bifurcated global economy," she said. "We need to [be] doing everything we can to improve our infrastructure, invest in our workforce, and drive growth while leaving no one behind."
