#whoisnextfedchair At present, no final decision has yet been made concerning the **next Fed Chair**, but Jerome Powell’s current term as Fed Chair will end in **May 2026**, when a nomination by the U.S. President for a next Fed Chair will take place close to that date. This is because Jerome Powell is also eligible for reappointment, but no confirmation has yet been made in that regard. There are always candidates mentioned in the press and policy debates, but until a nomination is made by the White House and subsequent confirmation by the U.S. Senate is obtained, a next Fed Chair remains in **limbo**.
