Jan 8 (Reuters) - BlackRock Inc's top bond investment manager Rick Rieder has not been interviewed yet by President Donald Trump to be the next U.S. Federal Reserve chair, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday, adding that he expects Trump to make a decision on the Fed leadership role this month.
Rieder is among four finalists under consideration for the job to succeed Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose term as central bank leader expires in May. The other finalists include White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett, sitting Fed Governor Christopher Waller and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh. The other three have all had interviews with Trump.
