ICBA congratulated Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Fed Governor Lael Brainard after President Joe Biden said he intends to nominate them for new terms at the agency.
Announcement: Biden said he plans to nominate Powell for a second term as chairman and Brainard for vice chair.
Vacancies: The White House noted there are three vacant seats on the Fed board, including the vice chair for supervision, and Biden intends to start making those appointments in early December.
