Michael Barr to Step Down as Fed Vice Chair for Supervision

Michael Barr, the Federal Reserve’s Vice Chair for Supervision, will resign on February 28 or earlier if a successor is confirmed. Barr cited concerns about potential disputes with the incoming Trump administration as a reason for stepping down, though he will remain a Fed governor.

Michelle Bowman is a likely candidate to succeed him.
