Powell blijft in Fed-bestuur na voorzitterschap

Jerome Powell announced he will remain on the Federal Reserve's board of governors after his chairmanship ends in May, breaking with tradition since 1948. This decision comes as Powell faces legal scrutiny and concerns about political attacks on the Fed's independence. While Powell insists he will maintain a low profile, his continued presence could benefit incoming Chairman Kevin Warsh by serving as a target for criticism from President Trump, potentially shielding Warsh from pressure to cut interest rates despite elevated inflation.
