Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve who served for 19 years under four US presidents, has died at the age of 100.
The influential economist passed away on Monday, marking the end of an era for one of the most powerful figures in modern financial history.
Greenspan's death was confirmed by his wife, journalist Andrea Mitchell, who notified news outlets of his passing.
He died from complications related to Parkinson's disease, according to reports from multiple wire services including The Daily Star and the Australian Financial Review.
Greenspan guided US monetary policy from 1987 to 2006, navigating the economy through the 1987 stock market crash, the tech boom of the 1990s, and the early stages of the housing bubble.
His tenure was defined by a belief in market efficiency and a cautious approach to interest rate adjustments, earning him the nickname "The Maestro" for his perceived ability to steer the economy with precision.
