US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh on Friday (Jan 30) to be the next Chair of the Federal Reserve. Warsh currently serves as the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution and is a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Having previously served as a Federal Reserve Governor from 2006 to 2011, Warsh is considered closely aligned with Donald Trump’s vision for monetary policy, particularly regarding more aggressive interest rate cuts.
"I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
In his post, Trump listed a detailed portfolio of Warsh's career as he faced criticism over his choice for the next Fed chief. Concerns have emerged regarding the potential politicisation of the Central Bank, with critics fearing that Warsh might tilt monetary policy toward political preferences rather than strictly data-based decisions.
"I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Kevin Warsh to be the CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. Kevin currently serves as the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Economics at the Hoover Institution and Lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is a Partner of Stanley Druckenmiller at Duquesne Family Office LLC. Kevin received his A.B. from Stanford University and J.D. from Harvard Law School. He has conducted extensive research in the field of Economics and Finance," Trump wrote.
The US President further highlighted Warsh’s past work with the Bank of England, noting: "Kevin issued an Independent Report to the Bank of England proposing reforms in the conduct of Monetary Policy in the United Kingdom. Parliament adopted the Report's recommendations. Kevin Warsh became the youngest Fed Governor ever, at 35, and served as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 2006 until 2011, as the Federal Reserve's Representative to the Group of Twenty (G-20), and as the Board's Emissary to the Emerging and Advanced Economies in Asia."
