Global Central Banks Booed Trump for His Threats Against Powell
Global central banks have issued an extraordinary joint statement offering “full solidarity” to the US Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, in the face of the latest threat to his independence from Donald Trump’s White House.
“The independence of central banks is a cornerstone of price, financial and economic stability in the interest of the citizens that we serve. It is therefore critical to preserve that independence, with full respect for the rule of law and democratic accountability,” the statement said.
It was signed by nine central bank governors including the Bank of England governor, Andrew Bailey, and the chair of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde.
It was coordinated by the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements, which added its chair and general manager to the signatories.
Other signatories to the unprecedented statement include the central bank governors of Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Brazil, South Korea and Canada. More names are expected to be added later on Tuesday.
They pay testament to Powell’s “integrity” and “unwavering commitment to the public interest”, calling him a “respected colleague who is held in the highest regard by all who have worked with him”.
Trump has repeatedly criticised Powell, whom he appointed in 2018, for failing to cut interest rates fast enough.
But the clash between the two men took a dramatic turn earlier this week when Powell issued a strongly worded video statement, saying he was being prosecuted by the US Department of Justice.
He said he had been singled out because the Fed’s policymaking board had set interest rates “based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president”.
Trump has moved to distance himself from the investigation, however, claiming he was unaware of it. “I don’t know anything about it,” he told NBC News.
Powell is due to step down as chair of the Fed board in May, and Trump is expected to announce his successor in the coming weeks.
The former Fed chairs Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen had already condemned the threat to Powell on Monday, saying the move could have “highly negative consequences”.
“This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of their economies more broadly,” their statement said.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Faces a Stiff Challenge
Justice department opens investigation into Jerome Powell as Trump ramps up campaign against Federal Reserve.
The independence and credibility of America’s central bank is under threat after the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome, knocking the US dollar.
In a startling development, US prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Powell over a $2.5bn renovation of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters, and into his testimony about the project to the Senate banking committee in June last year.
The move is a dramatic escalation in the long-simmering tensions between the Fed and the Trump White House, with the US president repeatedly rubbishing Powell for not cutting interest rates more quickly.
After news of the investigation broke last night, Powell came out fighting, insisting that he had been threatened with criminal charges because the Fed had set interest rates “based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president”.

Quanto può costare una bugia?
Basterebbe chiederlo agli iracheni. Le menzogne dell’amministrazione #Bush, quelle del suo Segretario di Stato Colin #Powell, e quella #provetta passata alla storia. Conteneva un distillato di falsità.
Quel distillato ha avuto però la forza di aprire una voragine che ha inghiottito almeno mezzo milione di persone.
Da quella voragine sono emersi i mostri denunciati da Julian #Assange, che ha pagato a caro prezzo la sua testimonianza, perdendo a lungo la libertà.
Da quella voragine è emerso il carcere di #AbuGhraib.
E oggi ci stiamo riprovando.
Non esiste alcuna prova della volontà dell’#Iran di sviluppare armi nucleari. Nessuna.
Solo nuove provette, come quella mostrata il 5 febbraio 2003 davanti al Consiglio di Sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite.
Chi siamo noi? E, soprattutto, chi è #Israele per negare ad altri paesi ciò che #Netanyahu possiede senza ammetterlo?
Davvero qualcuno crede ancora alla narrazione dell’“unica democrazia del Medio Oriente”, del baluardo di civiltà in quella regione?
Nessuno vede ciò che Israele sta facendo a #Gaza? E un paese responsabile di simili azioni merita davvero di possedere un arsenale nucleare?
Stiamo liberando il popolo iraniano? Vogliamo “esportare la democrazia” come abbiamo fatto in Afghanistan? Con quale credibilità? Vogliamo liberare le donne di Teheran facendo piovere bombe sulle loro teste?
Sono già circa 400 i civili uccisi in Iran, e il numero salirà.
Il mondo non potrà tollerarci per sempre.
