Elizabeth Warren Accuses Powell of Giving Big Banks CEOs Too Much Influence

Senator Elizabeth Warren has recently criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for allegedly allowing bank chief executive officers to have too much say in important policy decisions. Warren claims that these CEOs have been given too much power to influence key policies, such as executive-compensation and bank-capital proposals.

This accusation comes amidst a growing concern over the influence that big banks have on the financial sector. Warren's comments have sparked a debate about the role that CEOs play in shaping important financial policies, and whether or not their influence should be limited in order to prevent potential conflicts of interest.
