Jerome Powell ends tenure as Federal Reserve chair and announces plan to remain as Fed governor
Jerome Powell concluded his eight-year term as Federal Reserve chair on May 15, 2025, with his final policy meeting on Wednesday. He announced he will remain on the Fed's board of governors, citing concerns about political interference and legal attacks on the central bank's independence. Powell's decision extends his influence over monetary policy through January 2028 and denies President Trump an immediate vacancy to fill on the Fed board.
