What’s Ahead for U.S. Economy? Here’s What One Former Fed Chair is Saying

 WASHINGTON–Former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who headed the central bank during the 2008 financial crisis, is now warning that the United States is headed for a situation similar to that of the 1970s, when Americans were losing their jobs but still facing higher prices at the grocery store and at the pump. Ben Bernanke “Even under the benign scenario, we should have a slowing economy,” Bernanke told the New York Times in an interview in conjunction with his new book, “ 21st Century Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve From the Great Inflation to Covid-19 ,” which is scheduled to publish today. “So, there should be a period in the next year...

New Consumer Due-diligence Requirements Mean Credit Unions Have to Change Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) Procedures

Starting May 11, 2018, credit unions and other financial institutions are required to have new procedures in place when it comes to customer/member due-diligence, primarily involving “beneficial owners” and “legal entity” members, reminded CUNA. But the trade association reported that the new requirements do not mean credit unions have to update member information on a continuous or periodic basis. “The rule does not require credit unions to update member information on a continuous or periodic basis. The updating requirement is event-driven and only occurs as a result of detecting unusual activity through normal monitoring,” CUNA stated. The new procedures required by May 11, 2018, are: Procedures to identify and verify beneficial owners of legal entity members.  Procedures for making and maintaining a record of all the identification and verification information collected for beneficial owners of legal entity members.  Appropriate risk-based procedures for...

Fed Keeps Interest Rates on Hold in Split Decision at Final Meeting of Powell Era

  By  Keith Griffith April 29, 2026 In an unexpectedly close split decision,  Federal Reserve policymakers  have decided to keep interest rates on pause in what is likely to be the final meeting under the supervision of Fed Chair  Jerome Powell . Powell joined the 8-4 majority on the  Federal Open Market Committee  to vote in favor of leaving the  federal funds rate unchanged  at Wednesday's meeting in Washington, DC, judging inflation as running too hot to justify a rate cut. At a press conference after the vote, Powell revealed that he will remain on the board of governors as a regular member after his term as chairman ends, saying: "After my term as chair ends on May 15, I will continue to serve as a governor for a period of time to be determined. I plan to keep a low profile as a governor. There is only ever one chair of the Federal Reserve Board." Read the complete story here.
