*FOMC 2019 Voting Members: Chairperson
Jerome Powell, as of 02/05/18, and ALL members of the FOMC Board of
Governors are permanent voters: That includes Randall Quarles, & Lael
Brainard, newly (Sept) sworn in Richard Clarida, plus New York Fed Pres,
currently John Williams (Formerly of the San Francisco Fed) who replaced William
Dudley, who retired from the bank on June 15, 2018.:New, revolving
Regional Fed Bank leaders who are voters for 2018: Atlanta Fed Pres. Raphael Bostic,
new in August 2017 (replaced Dennis Lockhart), former McKinsey exec Thomas Barkin,
who assumed the title of Pres of Richmond Fed on 01/01/18. San
Francisco Fed named Mary Daly Pres/CEO as of 10/1/2018, who'll be a voter until Feb. The
hole in the San Francisco Fed's hierarchy resulted in Esther George--a very vocal
hawk--becoming a voting member of the FOMC, but she steps aside as of Mary Daly's swearing
in, and returns as a voter in Feb 2019. Cleveland Fed's voter, Loretta Mester, a
hawk, who wants rates raised at a quicker pace because she believes the Fed has, already,
fallen behind the curve. Richmond wound up with an opening, after
Jeff Lacker resigned, in early April 2017, when it became known he'd (unintentionally)
leaked sensitive FOMC discussions to Medley Advisors. Richmond operated with an Interim
Pres, Mark L Mullinix, while searching for its new leader, Thomas Barkin, who arrived Jan
1st 2018.. Dissenters at the Dec. 2017 Meeting, Neel Kashkari & Charles Evans, are no
longer voters in 2018. |
