By the Numbers
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has been tasked with leading the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which sets interest rates, just two months into his term. However, Warsh is operating in an unprecedented level of division within the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates are being made at a time of deep division over the direction of the US economy. Warsh is not only tasked with deciding where interest rates will go, but also with building consensus within a increasingly divided Federal Reserve. Warsh also aims to change the Federal Reserve's communication approach, arguing that central bankers should speak less about future policy paths. The statement released after the June meeting was half as long as the one released after Powell's last meeting in April.
