Fed’s Williams: 'Will Not Be Long' Before Reserves At 'Ample’ Level - Repeats Fed Close To Desired Level For Bank Reserves Williams: Remarks at the 2025 U.S. Treasury Market Conference, Federal Reserve Bank of New York, New York City On behalf of the New York Fed, let me welcome you all to this year’s U.S. Treasury Market Conference. Many thanks to the distinguished speakers and panelists for joining us here, and to the event organizers for putting together today’s outstanding agenda. I’m looking forward to a valuable and productive conversation. This gathering is a recurring calendar item every fall. But the topics that we discuss each year do not stand alone. Think of it as leveling up in a video game—which is one of my favorite pastimes by the way, or dare I say, “present times”. At each conference, we advance our understanding of the Treasury market to the next level. And in the genre of gaming, this game is multiplayer. It’s remarkable to think about what we’ve accomplished in this decade-long enterprise of interagency collaboration. This work continues to be imperative, so we must keep playing. I mean that in the working sense, of course. Before I keep going, I must give the standard Fed disclaimer that the views I express today are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) or others in the Federal Reserve System.

And his steady voice has exemplified the best of public service—grounded in analysis, informed by experience, and guided by purpose. His leadership has strengthened our institution and advanced the Federal Reserve's mission." The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's board of directors will form a search committee comprised of non-banking members of the Atlanta Fed's board of directors to conduct a nationwide search for the next president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, consistent wi Atlanta Fed: Fed's Bostic to retire on February 28th, 2026, at the end of his current five-year term.
