Enhancing Diversity in Federal Reserve Bank Leadership

This act aims to increase gender, racial, and ethnic diversity among Federal Reserve Bank presidents. It mandates interviewing candidates from these diverse groups, ensuring a fairer selection process and better representation of society within key financial institutions. For citizens, this means potentially more varied perspectives in monetary policy decisions, which could influence economic and financial outcomes.
Key points
Federal Reserve Banks must interview at least one gender-diverse individual and one racially or ethnically diverse individual when appointing presidents.
Federal Reserve Banks will annually report demographic data of presidential candidates.
The act also makes numerous technical language adjustments in existing laws, replacing 'Chairman' with 'Chair' and gender-neutralizing other pronouns.
