- Jerome Powell concluded his eight-year tenure as Federal Reserve chair while continuing to serve on the rate-setting committee until May 15.
- He led two emergency meetings in March 2020 to counter the pandemic’s economic impact, drastically cutting interest rates.
- Powell shifted his stance on inflation in 2021, acknowledging it was no longer transitory and initiating aggressive rate hikes.
- He upheld the central bank’s independence amid political attacks and a Department of Justice investigation into his actions.
This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.— Powell said in a highly unusual video statement released after news of the criminal inquiry broke.
