美国总统乔·拜登计划提名曾长期任职于纽约联邦储备银行的Joshua Frost为财政部主管金融市场事务的助理部长,负责债务管理、市场监督与监管。
据一位知情人士称,拜登将于周二宣布提名。Frost今年一直在财政部工作,担任金融市场事务副助理部长。这份提名需要参议院确认。
Frost可能在当前进行的美国国债市场评估中发挥核心作用。此次评估的诱因是22万亿美元的美国国债市场在2020年3月爆发Covid-19疫情时发生了短暂但令人惊觉的崩盘。
负责国内金融事务的财政部副部长Nellie Liang将是Frost的上司。她今年年初加入财政部之前,曾表示她对美国国债市场结构的潜在改革感兴趣。由前财长蒂莫西·盖特纳领导的一个外部专家小组在最近的一份报告中也建议改革。
U.S. president Joe Biden plans to nominate Joshua Frost, who has long worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as assistant secretary of the Treasury for financial market affairs, responsible for debt management, market supervision and regulation.
Biden will announce the nomination on Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the matter. Frost has been working at the Ministry of Finance this year as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets. The nomination needs to be confirmed by the Senate.
Frost is likely to play a central role in the current assessment of the Treasury market. The trigger for the assessment was a brief but startling collapse of the $22 trillion US Treasury market during the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020.
Nellie Liang, the deputy finance minister in charge of domestic financial affairs, will be the boss of Frost. Before joining the Treasury earlier this year, she said she was interested in potential reforms in the structure of the Treasury market. A panel of external experts led by former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner also recommended reform in a recent report.
