Fed's Williams: Demand for US dollar in paper currency is growing

New York Federal Reserve President John Williams argued on Monday that issues such as access to central bank accounts need to be front and center, as reported by Reuters.

"Money market funds and treasury markets can lose liquidity in times of stress," Williams added. "Demand for the US dollar in paper currency is growing."

Market reaction
