# The Federal Reserve sees personnel changes again as Atlanta Fed President Bostic will retire in February

Raphael Bostic, President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, announced that he plans to retire when his current term ends in February next year.

The 59-year-old Bostic has served as President of the Atlanta Federal Reserve since 2017, becoming the first African American to lead a regional Federal Reserve Bank and the first openly gay Federal Reserve President. The Atlanta Federal Reserve stated in a release that he will step down on February 28, 2026.

In a statement on Wednesday, Bostic said, "I am proud of the achievements during my tenure. We have made the noble goal of an economy that benefits everyone more attainable. I look forward to exploring new ways to advance this grand vision in my next chapter."

Bostic is scheduled to give a speech on the economic outlook at the Atlanta Economic Club on Wednesday afternoon.

Bostic has repeatedly warned this year about the risks posed by persistent inflation, urging his colleagues to remain cautious regarding interest rate cuts and to pay attention to the potential impacts of tariffs.

Although Bostic does not have a vote on monetary policy this year, he expressed support for the Federal Reserve's two interest rate cuts in September and October. However, he also emphasized that monetary policy should remain restrictive as long as inflation is above the central bank's 2% target.

Bostic's departure will bring more uncertainty to the Federal Reserve, which is currently experiencing other high-profile personnel changes and facing political pressure from President Donald Trump to cut interest rates. Bostic will leave just months before the Federal Reserve welcomes new leadership, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's term ends in May
