"I think that unknown is a risk to the European and global economy ... I think it's geopolitically a mistake." <br /> <br />Lew, speaking at an event on U.S. financial stability, also said the United States was keeping a close eye on China's stock market crash and that he hoped the market turmoil would not set back China's economic reform agenda. <br /> <br />He said the incident raised questions about how quickly China's economy will grow over the long term. <br /> <br />In comments on U.S. financial regulation, Lew said an soon-to-be-released analysis by U.S. regulators showed that a raft of new regulations written after the 2007-09 financial crisis did not cause the extreme volatility of bond markets on Oct. 15. <br />hurriyetdailynews.com<br />9/7/15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
