Federal Reserve Chair Announces Shift in Meeting Schedule to Include Dedicated Strategy Sessions

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has announced a change to the central bank's meeting schedule, designating one meeting in 2027 and two in 2028 as strategy sessions that will not include an interest rate vote or a policy statement. While the Fed will retain its eight annual meetings, this structural change aims to provide dedicated time for strategic deliberations among the intellectually diverse committee members. This announcement came on the same day the Federal Open Market Committee voted to keep the federal funds rate target range steady.
