Credited from: BBC

  • Michael Barr, the top banking regulator at the US central bank, announced his early resignation citing a potential "risk of a dispute" as a new administration approaches.
  • Previously an advocate for stricter bank oversight after 2023's bank failures, Barr faced criticism from Republicans but had earlier stated intentions to complete his term until 2026.
  • His resignation facilitates President-elect Donald Trump's opportunity to appoint a new supervisory position from the existing Federal Reserve board.
  • Barr expressed that his departure could prevent distractions and allow him to better serve as a Federal Reserve board governor.
  • His resignation will take effect February 28 or upon confirmation of a successor, with major US bank shares rising following the announcement.
