Fed's Miran assumes Warsh will fill his governor slot at central bank

NEW YORK, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran said in a television interview Friday that he assumes Kevin Warsh, nominated to succeed current Fed chair Jerome Powell, will likely fill his expiring term at the central bank.

Speaking on CNBC, Miran noted that his term, which ends on January 31, would be the only slot available for Warsh, himself a former Fed Governor, to take as part of the effort to install him as chair.

Miran, who dissented in favor of an interest rate cut at this week’s policy meeting, said the likely speed of the confirmation process would leave him in place at the next rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee meeting.
