Fed's Fischer urges no further limiting of emergency lending rules


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer said on Friday there should be no further limits put on the U.S. central bank's emergency lending powers.

    In response to a question following a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, Fischer said the Fed could work with the post-financial crisis restrictions on the types of companies it could lend to.

    But he said the process had gone as far as it should.
