Dallas Fed Names Lorie Logan as Its New President

Laurie Logan has been appointed as the new president of the Dallas Federal Reserve, replacing Rob Kaplan. Logan, who has been with the New York Fed since 2012, will bring her expertise in financial markets and monetary policy to her new role. She will start on August 22, 2022, and will participate in her first meeting in September. The transition is not expected to significantly alter the Fed's policy direction, as Logan is likely to adopt a hawkish stance given the current inflation rate of 8.2%.
