Fed watchdog looking at reappointment process for central bank's regional presidents

The Federal Reserve's in-house watchdog said it is reviewing how the Board of Governors reappoints regional Fed presidents and their deputies to five-year terms. The article raises a governance oversight issue at the Fed but provides no findings, policy changes, or market-sensitive decisions. Market impact is likely limited unless the review leads to procedural changes or broader scrutiny of Fed governance.
