Admin’s Note

This news brings up an important topic that makes us think about the impact of the change in the Fed chair on the economy. It’s particularly interesting to consider how the current situation, in which President Trump is demanding interest rate cuts from the Fed, might influence future monetary policy. As Chako pointed out, we should pay close attention to what kind of policies the new chair will implement, as they could affect us as ordinary citizens. I am especially looking forward to seeing how they will manage economic stability and growth in the future.
