Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday (April 29, 2026) he will stay on as a central bank governor for an undetermined period of time when his leadership term ends next month, amid hopes that ongoing political attacks on the institution will start to settle down.
“After my term as chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined,” Mr. Powell told a news conference after his last policy meeting as chair.
