Warsh Announces FOMC to Dedicate One 2027 Meeting to Strategy Without Rate Vote
The C-SPAN segment covers Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's post-FOMC press conference announcement of a phased change to the Federal Open Market Committee's meeting format. Starting in fall 2027, the FOMC will maintain eight meetings per year, but one will be devoted exclusively to broad monetary policy strategy discussions without a vote on the federal funds rate or issuance of a policy statement. The remaining seven will be standard policy-setting meetings. Warsh indicated the shift will expand to two strategy meetings and six policy meetings in 2028. The broadcast features Warsh speaking directly, outlining the rationale and framing the schedule adjustment as an institutional choice to balance timely near-term policy assessment with longer-horizon strategic thinking. No additional guests or external analysts appear; sourcing is the Chairman's live remarks following the decision to hold rates steady.
