NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 18 (Reuters) - Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Gary Stern did not address the economic or monetary policy outlook in brief comments on Saturday.

Introducing a panel on the economy at a conference at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, Stern focused on how to deal with banks and other financial institutions that are seen as posing too big of a systemic risk to be allowed to fail. (Reporting By Ros Krasny; Editing by Leslie Adler)
