The Fed Plans a Big Change for Its 2027 Meetings

The Federal Reserve plans to change its schedule in 2027. Officials want more time to talk about the economy without making rushed choices.

The central bank will hold seven voting meetings that year. Usually, leaders vote at eight meetings each year. In October 2027, policymakers will gather to study long-term trends instead of voting on interest rates.

The team will skip its normal public statement after that October session. Officials want space to think about big economic shifts without pressure from Wall Street.

For your wallet, interest rates set the cost of borrowing. A calm Fed gives banks and families clearer paths to plan their loans and savings.
