Jerome Powell

Regulators and lawmakers go to great lengths to avoid using the term for reforms in the Trump era, but its meaning is consistent with recent steps to revise and clarify the post-crisis regime.

In 2016, a big-bank consortium said that it would charge the same prices to all institutions, regardless of their size. But now the group has added a large caveat to that pledge.

The heads of three agencies reiterated their concern about the bank’s progress in fixing risk management and corporate governance flaws.

American Banker won 11 journalism awards during the past week, including its first Grand Neal, the highest of the honors announced at this year's Jesse H. Neal business journalism awards.

The addition of the conservative pundit could signal the Trump administration's intent to have a more direct hand in central bank policies, yet Moore could experience his own transformation as a Fed governor.

The Financial Stability Oversight Council should adopt measures that help vulnerable communities.

Moore is a founder of the conservative Club for Growth and served on the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal.

The role of the central bank has changed over the decades, but presidential pressure on the Fed has been a constant.

Speaking at a press conference, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the bank’s risk management failures have required a dramatic overhaul of its processes.

The Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to keep the countercyclical capital buffer at its current level of zero, ending some speculation that the board could be looking at a possible increase.

The Federal Reserve said it wants to discourage banks from using returns on Fed account balances as a business model.

The interagency panel formed to head off approaching systemic risks must figure out its next move after having undone designations of nonbank firms.

Addressing lawmakers for the second straight day, the Fed chairman defended his agency’s refinements to the post-crisis regime.

Lawmakers on the Senate Banking Committee pushed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for details about how he plans to review the proposed merger between the two regional banks.

The Senate Banking Committee will likely vote on Todd Harper and Rodney Hood's nominations to the federal regulator, while lawmakers hold hearings on a host of credit union priorities.

“The board's record of summarily approving mergers raises doubts about whether it will serve as a meaningful check on this consolidation that creates a new too big to fail bank,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a letter to the Fed.

Federal Reserve chairman and vice chairman meet the president for dinner, but interest rates aren’t on the menu.

If Cain is chosen for the Federal Reserve Board, it would be starkly out of step with the administration’s other nominations and may reveal a drastic change in the president’s attitude toward the central bank.

The top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee is warning that excessive optimism in the banking system could lead to another crisis.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said a messy breakup between the United Kingdom and European Union could pose risks to the economy and financial system.
