फेड नेतृत्व परिवर्तनबीच जेरोम पावेललाई अन्तरिम अध्यक्षको जिम्मेवारीJerome Powell Appointed Interim Chair Amid Federal Reserve Leadership Transition
अमेरिकी केन्द्रिय बैंक फेडरल रिजर्भमा नेतृत्व परिवर्तनको प्रक्रिया सुरु भएको छ । फेडले जेरोम पावेललाई अन्तरिम अध्यक्षको जिम्मेवारी दिएको जनाएको छ । नयाँ अध्यक्ष केभिन वार्सले औपचारिक रूपमा शपथ नलिएसम्म पावेलले नै फेडको नेतृत्व सम्हाल्ने बताइएको छ ।
फेडरल रिजर्भले सार्वजनिक गरेको विज्ञप्तिअनुसार नेतृत्व हस्तान्तरणको संक्रमणकालीन अवधिमा बहालवाला अध्यक्षलाई अस्थायी जिम्मेवारी दिने अभ्यास पुरानै परम्पराअनुसार गरिएको हो । पावेलको दोस्रो चार वर्षे कार्यकाल शुक्रबार औपचारिक रूपमा समाप्त हुँदैछ भने उनको उत्तराधिकारीका रूपमा केभिन वार्सको नाम केही दिनअघि मात्रै अमेरिकी सिनेटबाट अनुमोदन भएको थियो ।
पावेलले फेडको स्वतन्त्रता र स्वायत्तता कायम राख्नुपर्नेमा जोड दिँदै आफू सन् २०२८ जनवरीसम्म फेडको गभर्नरका रूपमा रहने बताएका छन् । पछिल्लो समय फेडको मुख्यालय मर्मतसम्भारसँग जोडिएको कथित अनियमितताबारे उनीमाथि अनुसन्धानसमेत अघि बढाइएको थियो । पछि उक्त विषय फेडकै ‘इन्स्पेक्टर जनरल’ कार्यालयमा पठाइएको जनाइएको छ ।
The United States Federal Reserve has appointed Jerome Powell as interim chair during the leadership transition period. The Federal Reserve said Powell will continue to lead the central bank until newly appointed chair Kevin Warsh formally takes the oath of office.
According to a statement published by the Federal Reserve, assigning temporary responsibility to the outgoing chair during the transition process follows long-standing institutional practice. Powell’s second four-year term as Fed chair officially ends on Friday, while Kevin Warsh was confirmed by the US Senate only a few days ago as his successor.
Powell has stressed the importance of maintaining the independence and autonomy of the Federal Reserve, stating that he will remain a member of the Board of Governors until January 2028. In recent months, Powell had also faced scrutiny over alleged irregularities linked to renovation work at the Fed’s Washington headquarters. The matter was later transferred to the Federal Reserve’s Inspector General for further review.
