WASHINGTON—Despite some economic improvements, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned today it’s still too soon to declare that the budding recovery will last. “We still have some way to go before we can be assured that the recovery will be self sustaining,“ Bernanke said in remarks to the Economic Club of Washington.
