WASHINGTON. Jerome Powell is stepping down as chair of the Federal Reserve this week after eight years leading the central bank, during which post-pandemic inflation rose well above the Fed’s 2% target and policymakers lifted the key short-term rate to a two-decade high in 2023. Economists also note unemployment reached a half-century low during his tenure. Powell has publicly resisted personal attacks from President Donald Trump and, in January, pushed back against a Justice Department probe; he said he will remain on the Fed’s governing board until he is confident the institution’s independence is restored. Markets, lawmakers and federal institutions now consider how his decisions and defense of independence will shape future monetary policy and governance.
