美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)副主席費(fèi)希爾辭職

Stanley Fischer has submitted his resignation as vice-chairman of the Federal Reserve, adding to the turbulence at the US central bank as it faces a host of vacancies at senior levels.

美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)(Federal Reserve)副主席斯坦利•費(fèi)希爾(Stanley Fischer)已經(jīng)遞交了辭職信，在這家美國(guó)央行面臨多個(gè)高層職位空缺之際，此舉將加劇該機(jī)構(gòu)的動(dòng)蕩。

In a letter to President Donald Trump, the former Bank of Israel chief said he would leave in October for “personal reasons”, which he did not detail. The 73-year-old’s term, which began in May 2014, was not due to expire until June next year.

在寫給唐納德•特朗普(Donald Trump)總統(tǒng)的一封信中，身為以色列央行(Bank of Israel)前行長(zhǎng)的費(fèi)希爾表示，他將于10月“因個(gè)人原因”卸任，他沒(méi)有具體說(shuō)明是什么事情?，F(xiàn)年73歲的費(fèi)希爾從2014年5月起擔(dān)任現(xiàn)職，他的任期本來(lái)要到明年6月才結(jié)束。

Mr Fischer’s departure comes amid a highly uncertain period for the Fed’s board of governors, leaving up to four of its seven seats vacant. It offers another opportunity for Mr Trump to recast the policy and direction of the central bank — as well as deepening the uncertainty within financial markets about its likely policy stance.

費(fèi)希爾辭職之際，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)理事會(huì)正處于高度不確定的時(shí)期，其7個(gè)席位中最多將有4個(gè)空缺。這為特朗普重新設(shè)定央行政策和方向提供了又一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，也將加深金融市場(chǎng)對(duì)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)可能采取的政策立場(chǎng)的不確定。

Mr Fischer has been a visceral opponent of Mr Trump’s efforts to deregulate finance. His departure gives the president a chance to appoint a Wall Street-friendly policymaker. Mr Trump has also voiced support for low rates while Mr Fischer was seen as more hawkish than Janet Yellen, the Fed chair.

費(fèi)希爾一直高調(diào)反對(duì)特朗普解除金融監(jiān)管的努力。他的離職讓美國(guó)總統(tǒng)有機(jī)會(huì)任命一位對(duì)華爾街友好的政策制定者。特朗普還曾表態(tài)支持低利率，而費(fèi)希爾被認(rèn)為比美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席珍妮特•耶倫(Janet Yellen)更具鷹派色彩。

“[Mr Fischer] represented the board internationally with distinction and led our efforts to foster financial stability,” Ms Yellen said.

“(費(fèi)希爾先生)出色地在國(guó)際上代表了美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)理事會(huì)，并帶領(lǐng)了我們?cè)鲞M(jìn)金融穩(wěn)定的努力，”耶倫表示。

The Fed chair’s term is up in February and Mr Trump has made clear he may not reappoint her; the leading alternative candidate is Gary Cohn, Mr Trump’s top economic adviser.

美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席本人的任期將在明年2月結(jié)束，而特朗普已明確表示，他可能不會(huì)再次任命她;目前領(lǐng)先的替代候選人是特朗普的最高經(jīng)濟(jì)顧問(wèn)加里•科恩(Gary Cohn)。

Mr Trump has appointed Randal Quarles, a proponent of bank deregulation, as the Fed’s vice-chair of financial supervision, a nomination yet to be confirmed by the Senate. The president is considering Marvin Goodfriend, Carnegie Mellon University economist, for the board, and a further seat for a person with community banking experience needs to be filled.

特朗普已任命倡導(dǎo)為銀行松綁的蘭德?tīng)?bull;夸爾斯(Randal Quarles)出任美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)的金融監(jiān)督副主席，這一提名尚未得到參議院確認(rèn)?？偨y(tǒng)正考慮任命卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)(Carnegie Mellon University)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家馬爾文•古德弗蘭德(Marvin Goodfriend)進(jìn)入美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)理事會(huì)。此外還有一個(gè)席位需要填補(bǔ)，其候選人必須具備社區(qū)銀行業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

Mr Fischer was respected in central banking circles, having spent his career in institutions including the World Bank and IMF, and academia’s leading economics departments, including University of Chicago.

費(fèi)希爾在央行圈子受到尊重，在幾十年職業(yè)生涯中，他曾在世界銀行(World Bank)和國(guó)際貨幣基金組織(IMF)等機(jī)構(gòu)任職，也曾在芝加哥大學(xué)(University of Chicago)等一流學(xué)府的經(jīng)濟(jì)系執(zhí)教。

Mohamed-El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, who worked under Mr Fischer at the IMF, said it was a loss for central banking. “He brings to the table this very rare and unique combination of a very solid economics foundation [and] massive national and international experience,” Mr El-Erian said.

安聯(lián)(Allianz)首席經(jīng)濟(jì)顧問(wèn)、在IMF時(shí)曾在費(fèi)希爾手下工作的穆罕默德•埃爾-埃利安(Mohamed El-Erian)表示，這對(duì)央行工作是一個(gè)損失。“他帶來(lái)了非常難得的、獨(dú)特的組合，既有極為深厚的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)功底，又有豐富的國(guó)家和國(guó)際層面經(jīng)驗(yàn)，”埃爾-埃利安表示。

Mr Fischer was not expected to be re-appointed as vice-chair, although he would have had the option of staying as a governor until 2020. He was known to have differed with Ms Yellen on occasions — in particular in 2015, when he struck a hawkish note on rates as the Fed chair was planning to hold policy.

此前外界就預(yù)計(jì)費(fèi)希爾不會(huì)被重新任命為美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)副主席，盡管他可以選擇在美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)理事會(huì)任職至2020年。外界知道他和耶倫之間有時(shí)會(huì)有分歧，特別是在2015年，就在美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席準(zhǔn)備保持政策不變時(shí)，他卻在利率問(wèn)題上發(fā)表了具有鮮明鷹派色彩的言論。

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Mr Fischer was highly critical of efforts to loosen the post-crisis regulatory regime. “After 10 years everybody wants to go back to a status quo before the great financial crisis. And I find that really extremely dangerous and extremely short-sighted,” he said.

費(fèi)希爾最近在接受英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)，對(duì)放松危機(jī)后監(jiān)管制度的做法發(fā)出強(qiáng)烈批評(píng)。“現(xiàn)在金融危機(jī)過(guò)去了10年，大家卻都想回到金融危機(jī)前的狀態(tài)。我認(rèn)為這真的極端危險(xiǎn)和極端短視，”他表示。
