[Wash: Markets Will Receive Ample Advance Notice If the Fed Adjusts its Balance Sheet] Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh stated that if the Fed adjusts its balance sheet policy, it will provide advance notice, explanation, and public discussion, giving financial markets ample preparation time. At a hearing, Warsh said the public is already familiar with his views on the Fed's massive balance sheet, but he declined to prejudge the decisions the newly formed balance sheet task force would make. He pointed out that the balance sheet falls under the scope of monetary policy and emphasized that the Fed should avoid interfering in fiscal policy. Warsh stated, "I assure you that if there are any changes to balance sheet policy, we will provide advance notice, explanation, and discussion. Both the Committee and the financial markets will receive full advance notice before any adjustments to balance sheet policy occur."
