Stephen Miran, United States (US) Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) member and US President Donald Trump's pick to fill a recently-vacated seat on the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Board of Governors, swore that he would uphold the Fed's political independence if he were to be confirmed by Congress. Miran stated that his opinions as a Fed Governor would be based on "his analysis", which has resulted in odd publications in the past.
Miran also made a point of misattributing the Fed's mandate during his appearance, claiming that the Fed's "main job" is to prevent depressions and inflation. The Fed's only mandate is to maintain price stability and support employment.
