Fed official's blackout dinner prompts concern

Nick Timiraos, chief economics correspondent at Wall Street Journal, reports that Pat Harker, the former Philadelphia Fed president, has commented on LinkedIn regarding a media report about a Federal Reserve official speaking at a bank client dinner during the blackout period. Harker stresses that such reporting warrants a serious and transparent response from the institution.

Nick Timiraos previously reported that Federal Reserve vice chair Michelle Bowman attended a private Bank of America client dinner in New York following a key policy decision.
