Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is set to appear before the House Financial Services and Senate Banking committees for his first public testimony in the role.
The sessions mark a critical moment for the new central bank leader, who is expected to face intense questioning from lawmakers regarding his assessment of the US economy and his strategic direction for monetary policy.
The congressional hearings come at a pivotal juncture, occurring just days before Warsh is scheduled to deliver his first interest rate decision as chair.
Markets are closely watching for signals on how the new administration’s priorities will translate into Fed policy, particularly given the heightened scrutiny surrounding the central bank’s independence and data-dependent approach.
Warsh’s testimony follows a busy start to his tenure, which included a swearing-in ceremony in May attended by President Donald Trump.
The president was notably effusive in his support for Warsh, applauding the selection as a key component of his economic agenda.
