Warsh Echoes Calls For Lower Interest Rates
A Senate panel advanced President Trump's nominee for a presidential position on Wednesday. Warsh is intended to replace Jerome Powell. Republican Senator Tom Tillis had previously been a holdout but changed his position after the Justice Department agreed to wind down a criminal probe involving the Fed. Warsh has promised to implement changes to Federal Reserve communications, potentially regarding how the central bank measures inflation. Jerome Powell stated he will not allow Warsh's presence to overshadow his role. The appointment awaits full Senate confirmation. Warsh indicated he plans to maintain a low profile as a governor. His confirmation now moves to the full Senate. Warsh stated he will not take marching orders from the president, though he has echoed calls for lower interest rates. He previously served as a Fed governor for six years before 2018.
