A report by the Financial Times says that Fed official Randal Quarles is being tipped by US officials to make a push for the role of chairman of the Financial Stability Board

US officials are believed to be pushing for Quarles to head the international body, which oversees international financial regulations mostly. It'll be quite a change as Quarles is big on deregulation, as compared to the work the FSB has been putting in over the years since the global financial crisis.

The report says that initially Quarles was tipped to succeed Stefan Ingves as chairman of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision but officials at the White House are now pushing for him to aim for the more influential role at the FSB instead.

The current chairman is BOE governor Mark Carney, after he was asked to stay on until December 2018.
