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.
His death was confirmed by his wife, journalist Andrea Mitchell, who notified NBC News of the passing.
Greenspan succumbed to complications from Parkinson's disease, according to reports from Polish media outlet TVN24.
Greenspan’s tenure at the Fed, spanning from 1987 to 2006, made him one of the most influential figures in modern economic history.
He guided the US economy through the 1987 stock market crash, the dot-com bubble, and the early years of the 2008 financial crisis.
His approach to monetary policy, often characterized by a preference for market flexibility and skepticism of regulation, shaped global financial markets for decades.
