Powell: No calls, meetings with Biden since 2022

EPA-EFE/PETE MAROVICH

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated on Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee that he has not had any calls or meetings with United States President Joe Biden since 2022.

Still, throughout his testimony, he refrained from criticizing the president and his administration's economic policies.

Earlier during the hearing, Powell stressed the importance of having the Fed independent from "elected people" who run the country's fiscal policy.
