Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is considering whether to reduce the number of the central bank’s scheduled policy meetings, according to a report from The New York Times cited Friday. The potential change would affect how often the Fed formally gathers to discuss monetary policy.
The report suggests Warsh has raised the idea as part of a broader look at the Fed’s meeting calendar. While no final decision was indicated in the available report, the discussion points to possible adjustments in how the central bank structures its policy schedule.
Any move to hold fewer scheduled meetings would be closely watched by investors, economists and businesses because Fed gatherings are a key part of how the market tracks interest-rate decisions and policy signals. Even a procedural change can influence expectations around the timing and pace of future policy action.
For now, the focus remains on the reported consideration itself rather than a confirmed shift. Until the Fed provides formal guidance, the proposal appears to remain under review.
