#USFedNewChair

The discussion in the American street today revolves around a potential appointment of a new Chair of the Federal Reserve.

In a short transitional step, President Trump nominated Stephen Miran, the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, to fill a vacant seat on the Fed— as a first step towards choosing a new Chair for the Fed.

At the same time, the Republican team has expanded the list of potential candidates for the next Fed Chair, with prominent names such as "the two Kevins": Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh, along with Christopher Waller, James Bullard, and Marc Sumerlin.

Discussion Questions:

Do you think the entry of someone like Miran, who has previously called for reducing the independence of the Federal Reserve, could impact the direction of monetary policy? And does this reflect an increasing influence of partisan politics on economic decision-making circles?

Among the current candidates, who is expected to continue the policy of controlling inflation? And who might succeed him with a more flexible approach to support economic growth?
