Search every verified Kevin Warsh interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has been active in recent months, holding press conferences and delivering remarks on monetary policy and economic conditions. In September 2026, the Federal Open Market Committee raised the target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.75%–4%, a decision Warsh described as removing "a dose of accommodation" in response to elevated inflation. He stated that economic activity was expanding at a solid pace, with resilient domestic spending, strong productivity growth, and robust capital investment, but that inflation remained elevated. Warsh said the committee would deliver price stability and that the Fed's predominant focus should be on prices, adding that he did not believe the Fed needed to harm labor markets to achieve its inflation objective. Warsh has also emphasized a shift in the Fed's communication approach, saying he is"not in the forward guidance business"and that the role of forward guidance should be limited. He said the Fed should not lead markets around by the nose and that market participants should focus on real data rather than Fed forecasts. At the August 2026 Jackson Hole symposium, Warsh described the current period as one of"secular growth"and a"global investment surge,"contrasting with earlier themes of secular stagnation and a global savings glut. He also stated that"inflation is a choice"and that"growth is a choice too,"attributing these outcomes to policy decisions. At the G20 finance ministers meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, Warsh echoed these themes, emphasizing cooperation on shared economic challenges and the importance of growth as a policy priority.

Notable quotes

The decision we made today was a sober decision, serious decision, responsible decision, one that we have been preparing for and thinking about in my 110 or 20 days here. Uh you heard from other people in the dots effectively what their forec”

“Yet for more than five years, inflation has been running above target. So our predominant focus is on the price stability side of our mandate. The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long. This summer's inflation readings do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved. Based on the most recent CPI and PPI data, the 12-month change in total PCE prices likely was around 3.6% ”

“I've said this before, and I'll repeat it. The Fed has an enormous amount of power. These are decisions we make. But getting the understanding right between financial markets and the Fed is a balance that I've long thought could be better struck. We made this decision today based on our assessment of the situation, based on our assessment of the trajectory for employment, based on our judgment on the strength of the ”

“We cannot effect any individual price, whether it be oil prices, whether it be food stuff at the grocery store. But what we can do and will do is ensure that any change in relative prices don't broaden out, don't have second and third order effects in the economy. That's what we're tasked to do, and that's what we will do.”

“I don't have anything for you on discussions with the president. And I'm not a Wall Street newsletter. Part of the independence of the Federal Reserve is we stay in our lane.”

“The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long. This summer's inflation readings do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved. Based on the most recent CPI and PPI data, the 12-month change in total PCE prices likely was around 3.6% in August. Core PCE and CPI prices running at about 3.2 and 2.4% respectively. Too many categories are still posting increases above 3% on both”
