Federal Reserve Chair Warsh proposed reducing the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) annual policy meetings from 8 to 6, according to meeting minutes. The change would mean holding meetings roughly every two months, allowing more information to accumulate between decisions and giving policymakers and Federal Reserve staff additional time to research and consider strategic monetary-policy issues. Warsh sought committee members' views on the proposal, but the minutes said the number of meetings will not change this year. Reducing the schedule would represent a significant change to how the Federal Reserve operates.
