Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve who served under four US presidents, has died at the age of 100.
His passing was confirmed Monday by his wife, journalist Andrea Mitchell, who notified NBC News of the death.
Greenspan died at his home in New York.
Greenspan’s tenure at the Fed, spanning from 1987 to 2006, was marked by his influence on global monetary policy and his reputation as a key architect of the modern American economy.
He guided the central bank through significant economic shifts, including the savings and loan crisis, the dot-com bubble, and the early stages of the financial crisis.
While Greenspan is no longer involved in current policy decisions, his legacy continues to shape debates on inflation, regulation, and the role of central banks in stabilizing markets.
