Overview
Kevin Warsh was sworn in as the chair of the Federal Reserve on May 22. He is now the leader of the committee that determines the Fed Funds Interest Rate, which then trickles down to the rest of the economy.
With inflation rising again in the United States in recent months, Warsh issued a blunt statement when asked about the Fed's stance: "No tolerance."
