Washington: Former chairman of US Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke will join the Brookings Institution effective Monday, the Washington-based policy research group said.
Bernanke, whose term at the Fed expired on 31 January, will be a distinguished fellow in residence at Brookings, the organization said in a statement. His former Fed colleague Don Kohn, who was vice chairman of the central bank under Bernanke, is a senior fellow at Brookings, as is former Fed vice chairman Alice Rivlin.
“We are proud to welcome chairman Bernanke into the Brookings family," said Brookings president Strobe Talbott. “His firm, steady hand at the Fed’s tiller came at a crucial time in our nation’s history, including during the worst financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. We know he’ll bring insights from his tenure at the Fed to his work at Brookings." Bloomberg
