Adriana Kougler

Adriana Kougler is a prominent U.S. Federal Reserve official who recently announced her unexpected resignation from her position, which she held since September 2023 after being appointed by President Joe Biden. Her departure opens up a significant vacancy at a time when former President Donald Trump is advocating for lower interest rates. Kougler, who is set to return to Georgetown University as a professor, had a permanent vote on the Federal Open Market Committee and had expressed support for maintaining interest rates until the impact of tariffs on inflation became clearer.
