Janet Yellen

Federal Reserve Chair Janet L. Yellen will join the Brookings Institution as a Distinguished Fellow in Residence with the Economic Studies program, effective Feb. 5.

Federal Reserve Governor Jerome Powell was confirmed with broad bipartisan support in the Senate to take the helm of the U.S. central bank when Chair Janet Yellen’s term ends Feb. 3.

A gradual path of rate increases is likely to remain warranted, Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen reiterated Wednesday, noting that she is “personally concerned” about U.S. debt level.

The Federal Open Market Committee raised the federal funds target rate 25 basis points to a range of 1.25% to 1.50%, the Fed announced Wednesday.

Marvin Goodfriend, a noted economist and former Richmond Fed official, was tapped to fill one of three vacancies on the Fed board.

Blaming “transitory factors” for low inflation rates, Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday she expects gradual fed funds rate increases for “the next few years.”

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen cautioned that raising interest rates too quickly risked stranding inflation below the U.S. central bank’s 2% target.

Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen will resign as a member of the Fed’s Board of Governors when Jerome Powell is sworn in as chair, the Fed announced Monday.

More transparent communication on monetary policy intentions is effective and probably here to stay, according to four of the world’s most-powerful central bankers.

In a rare public admission of frustration, Janet Yellen chided fellow Federal Reserve policy makers who breach the carefully nurtured collegiality of the bank by staking out policy positions before bothering to hearing the views of their colleagues.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen hasn’t yet decided whether she’ll stay at the central bank in a diminished role when her term as chair ends in February, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.

Many industry observers believe Federal Reserve Board Janet Yellen will retire from the central bank once her term as chair expires in February. But there are reasons she might stay.

Jerome Powell wasn’t a lock to be President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve.

Janet Yellen’s only advocate in the White House may be the one person who matters most: President Donald Trump.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen defended the central bank’s use of unconventional and often unpopular monetary policy tools after the Great Recession.

The U.S. Senate probably will confirm President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, but the process won’t be free of drama.

President Donald Trump concluded a White House meeting Thursday afternoon with Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as House conservatives mounted a campaign to persuade him not to reappoint her.

President Trump said Tuesday that he has winnowed the number of candidates for the next Fed chair, including potentially reappointing Janet Yellen.

President Trump plans to announce his nominee to chair the Federal Reserve before he leaves Nov. 3 for an 11-day trip.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said the U.S. central bank expects to continue to raise interest rates gradually.
