President Joe Biden has nominated three smart, diverse candidates to fill vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Predictably, Republicans are already complaining about their views, particularly those of Sarah Bloom Raskin, the nominee for vice-chair of supervision, who has expressed concern about the effects of climate change on financial stability and has an interest in the risks posed by shadow banking, cryptocurrencies and cyber security. Conservatives say her appointment would “politicise bank supervision”.
美國總統喬•拜登(Joe Biden)提名了三位精明、多元化的人選，填補美國聯準會(Federal Reserve Board of Governors)的空缺。毫不意外的是，共和黨人已經在對這些人選的觀點表達抱怨，特別是對負責金融監管的副主席的提名人選薩拉•布盧姆•拉斯金(Sarah Bloom Raskin)，她對氣候變化對金融穩定的影響表達了擔憂，並且關注影子銀行、加密貨幣和網路安全帶來的風險。保守派表示，她的任命將會「把銀行監管政治化」。
