Federal Reserve chairman Kevin Warsh is considering a significant change to the central bank's monetary policy process by reducing the number of scheduled meetings per year. This move, which could be decided before the September meeting, would streamline the procedural burden on staff but might limit the Fed's routine opportunities to adjust interest rates in response to economic shifts. The current schedule of eight meetings annually has been standard since the 1980s, and any reduction would need to comply with the Federal Reserve Act's requirement of at least four meetings per year.
