Fed sets new meeting schedule for 2027, as foretold by Warsh
TLT•The Fed updated its 2027 schedule: its October 26-27 gathering will focus on monetary policy strategy, and its final rate-setting meeting moves to November 16-17. Policymakers will next meet January 25-26, 2028.
1. Schedule changes
The Fed said its October 26-27, 2027 meeting will be dedicated to discussing broad monetary policy strategy. The final scheduled meeting of the year will move from December 7-8 to November 16-17 and will set rates; officials will then meet again January 25-26, 2028.
2. Policy discussions
Chairman Kevin Warsh said he expects two strategy meetings and six policy-setting meetings in 2028, allowing officials two months of economic data between rate decisions. The Fed’s updated meeting page no longer marks March, June and September 2027 as meetings when policymakers submit quarterly economic projections. A task force is reviewing communications practices and strategy, including whether to continue publishing the dot plot; it has not yet delivered its recommendations.
