World central bank chiefs ‘stand in solidarity’ with US Fed chair Powell
Central bank leaders from around the world came together in a show of support for US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The unprecedented move was prompted by recent criticisms and pressure on Powell from various quarters, including former President Donald Trump.
The heads of the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan, and the Reserve Bank of Australia issued a joint statement expressing their unwavering support for Powell. They emphasized the importance of central bank independence and the need for policymakers to be able to make decisions free from political interference.
The statement highlighted Powell’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and commended his efforts to steer the US economy through challenging times. The central bank chiefs underscored the critical role that the Federal Reserve plays in the global economy and expressed confidence in Powell’s ability to navigate the uncertain economic landscape.
This display of solidarity comes amid growing concerns about the politicization of central banks and the potential impact on monetary policy decisions. By publicly backing Powell, the central bank chiefs aim to send a clear message about the importance of preserving the integrity and independence of central banks worldwide.
The statement is expected to provide a boost to Powell as he faces mounting pressure and scrutiny, particularly in the run-up to the US midterm elections. It also serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of global central banks and the significance of their collective efforts in maintaining financial stability.
