The Federal Reserve Is Committed To End Debanking, Says Jerome Powell

The Donald Trump administration is reevaluating the stringent banking regulations implemented by the Biden administration, which led to the controversial “Operation Chokepoint 2.0.” During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized the central bank’s commitment to preventing debanking.

Notably, many individuals and institutions have been “debanked” during the Biden era, denying access to banking services. While the Trump government reassesses the debanking laws, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at the potential regulatory changes in the banking sector.

According to an X post shared by Fox Business Journalist Eleanor Terrett, Jerome Powell revealed the Federal Reserve’s plans to remove a section from its Internal Implementation Handbook. While the section suggested considering bank leaders’ “controversial” activities, the revised rule will ignore bank executives’ personal opinions or actions when evaluating bank performance.
