Wosh fue nominado y aprobado por votación en el grupo del Senado, un paso más cerca de asumir como presidente de la Reserva Federal

Golden Finance reports, April 29th — On Wednesday, local time, Kevin Wirth, the next Federal Reserve Chair nominee proposed by U.S. President Trump, received support with a 13-11 vote in the Senate Banking Committee, paving the way for his nomination to be confirmed before Powell’s term ends on May 15th. The subsequent nomination will be subject to a full Senate vote. Wirth’s nomination had previously been obstructed by Republican Senator Tom Tillis until the Department of Justice agreed last week to temporarily abandon a criminal investigation into cost overruns in the renovation of the Federal Reserve’s Washington headquarters. This vote makes it possible for Wirth to lead the Federal Reserve, potentially heralding the largest shake-up of the U.S. central bank in years. Wirth previously proposed a “regime change” scenario when seeking Trump’s nomination, promising to reduce the Fed’s $6.7 trillion balance sheet, establish a new inflation management framework, and change the way the central bank communicates with the public. However, he provided almost no details on how to achieve these goals.
