Boston Fed will not release documents on its former president's trades
The Boston Federal Reserve will not release documents that could show whether its former president vetted a series of personal investments last year with its ethics officer, a spokesman for the regional Fed bank said, a key point in an ongoing ethics controversy at the U.S. central bank.
Eric Rosengren, along with Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan, stepped down after details of their trading activities in 2020 were reported in the media last month, raising questions about whether Fed rules on policymakers’ financial investments are strict enough given their market-sensitive roles.
Their investing activities and those of other top Fed officials including Chair Jerome Powell, in a year when the central bank delivered an unprecedented response to the economic threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic, have erupted into a full-blown controversy that may weigh on whether Powell is reappointed as Fed chief. In a statement issued shortly after the initial reports, Rosengren said he would sell the securities in question, including shares in real estate investment trusts, the value of which could be influenced by Fed policy decisions. Rosengren also said the investments “were permissible under Fed ethics rules for asset types and timeframes for transactions.” Responding to a Reuters request for any documents from the Boston Fed’s general counsel or ethics officer underlying that comment, a spokesman for the regional bank emailed a statement on Tuesday that deferred to a broad review of Fed ethics rules launched by Powell last month. “We will not be able to provide internal communications of that nature,” the statement said. “The Chair has called for reviews of the ethics rules and frameworks. We welcome them, and will cooperate fully - and won’t publicly address specifics so as to see those reviews proceed fully, without prejudgment or distraction.”
Reuters has requested similar documents from the Dallas Fed as well as the Fed’s Board of Governors - the panel of officials who oversee the entire U.S. central bank system. A Dallas Fed spokesman said the request had been forwarded to the regional bank’s general counsel. There has been no response yet on the request filed to the Fed’s Board of Governors under the federal Freedom of Information Act. The 12 regional Fed banks are quasi-private entities not governed by the Freedom of Information Act, and can be selective about the documents they make public. Republican U.S. Senator Steve Daines pointedly questioned Powell about this issue at a recent congressional hearing. Other prominent lawmakers, including Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, plan to introduce legislation restricting Fed officials’ ownership of shares of individual companies. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has asked for securities regulators to investigate the transactions and demanded an ethics overhaul at the Fed’s regional banks. In a Sept. 20 letter to Warren, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, writing on behalf of all the Fed regional banks, said they would abide by whatever new guidance emerges from Powell’s review.

Biden returns to hometown in Pennsylvania to sell infrastructure bill
Biden is scheduled to speak at the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton at about 5:15 p.m. Biden's visit comes as officials in Scranton recently changed signs on Interstate 81 from the Central Scranton Expressway to the President Joe Biden Expressway. New signs also reflect a name change for Scranton's Spruce Street, which is now Biden Street. The president is making the trip to Scranton to grow public support for a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, which has passed the Senate but remains unpassed in the House.
