Former Federal Reserve Chairperson Janet Yellen told an audience in New York that she fears there could be another financial crisis brewing.

She warned of leveraged loans and the inability for the Fed to bail out banks. She said that banking regulators have seen reductions in their authority to address banking and financial panics and warned of the current push to deregulate.

“I think things have improved, but then I think there are gigantic holes in the system,” Yellen warned Monday evening.

“The tools that are available to deal with emerging problems are not great in the United States,” she said in a discussion moderated by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman at CUNY.

Yellen warned that leverage loans are an area of concern, something also mentioned by the current Fed leadership.
