The next Federal Reserve Chair will face many challenges: restoring the integrity of our regulatory system; implementing a strong loophole-free Volcker Rule firewall; reining in the massive bets on commodities by major financial institutions; as well as fulfilling the dual mandate of keeping unemployment and inflation low. I have no doubt that Janet Yellen is the best person for the job.” ### Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
