Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to Reduce Frequency of Rate-Setting Meetings Starting in 2027
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announced that the central bank will hold fewer annual rate-setting meetings, cutting them to seven in 2027 and six in 2028, while using remaining sessions for broader policy discussions.
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh said the central bank will trim the number of annual meetings dedicated to setting interest rates, scheduling seven such sessions in 2027 and six in 2028. The remaining meetings in each year will be devoted to discussing broader economic and monetary-policy strategy rather than making immediate rate decisions. The change is intended to streamline the decision-making process and allow more focused deliberation on longer-term policy goals.
