"He has truly been a stabilizing force not just for our country but for the entire world."
Under Bernanke's leadership, the Fed cut short term interest rates to near zero and has kept long term rates at record lows with an $85 billion a month bond buying program.
Financial markets welcomed the Yellen nomination as a nod to continuity.
Former central bank official Joseph Gagnon says Yellen is likely to continue Mr. Bernanke's policies.
"I don't see big changes. I think they're both rather collegial in terms of, you know, encouraging, trying to get consensus within a group as much as possible, so I think that will continue."
Analysts expect an easy confirmation by the Democratic-controlled Senate with help from moderate Republicans. But given the sharp partisan divide in Congress, economists say Yellen's biggest challenges are yet to come.总统也高度赞扬了伯南克为度过几十年来最为严重的金融危机做出的稳定保障。
“他真的不仅仅是我们国家的稳定力量，更是全世界的稳定力量。”
在伯南克的领导下，美联储将短期利率削减至近乎为零，并且将长期利率通过一个月850亿美元的债券购买计划保持在了历史最低纪录。
金融市场对耶伦被提名继任表示欢迎。
前央行官员加仑翁说耶伦可能会延续伯南克的政策。
“我没看到大的变化。我想他们在促进组内尽可能达成共识这些方面是有相似想法的，因此我认为政策将会继续。”
分析人士认为，在立场温和的共和党人的帮助下，耶伦得到民主党控制的参议院的确认任职不是一件难事。但考虑到国会上尖锐的党派分歧，经济学家表示耶伦最大的挑战还未到来。
