The Federal Reserve announced its tentative schedule for meetings in 2015 today. There was all kinds of talk about more frequent meetings and a press conference after every meeting but in the end, the Fed opted for the status quo with 8 meetings and a press conference every quarter.
Janet Yellen isn’t particularly comfortable in the spotlight or fielding questions so I suspect she pushed to keep communication at the currently levels.
Here’s the schedule:
January 27-28 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
March 17-18 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
April 28-29 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
June 16-17 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
July 28-29 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
September 16-17 (Wednesday-Thursday)
October 27-28 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
December 15-16 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
January 26-27, 2016 (Tuesday-Wednesday)
