In an unprecedented show of unity, the world’s most powerful central bankers have issued a joint statement to support Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This follows a dramatic escalation in tensions between the White House and the Fed, including a Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into Powell himself.
​Here is the breakdown of why this is happening and who is standing with him.
​The Conflict: A "Pretext" for Influence?
​The current friction stems from a DOJ investigation and grand jury subpoenas involving Powell.
​The Allegation: The DOJ is investigating testimony Powell gave regarding a $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed's headquarters, looking into potential "abuse of taxpayer dollars."
​Powell’s Defense: In a rare and forceful video statement, Powell called the investigation a "pretext" and "intimidation." He argued the probe is actually a reaction to his refusal to lower interest rates as aggressively as the Trump administration has demanded.
​The Stakes: Powell's term as Chair expires in May 2026, but he has vowed not to resign, stating he will continue to set policy based on "evidence, not politics."
​The "Global Statement of Solidarity"
​Today, January 13, 2026, eleven of the world's top central bank governors released a coordinated statement via the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). They warned that undermining the Fed's autonomy threatens global financial stability.
​Key Signatories include:
​Christine Lagarde (European Central Bank)
​Andrew Bailey (Bank of England)
​Tiff Macklem (Bank of Canada)
​Michele Bullock (Reserve Bank of Australia)
​The Heads of Central Banks in: Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, South Korea, and Brazil.
​"The independence of central banks is a cornerstone of price, financial and economic stability... It is therefore critical to preserve that independence, with full respect for the rule of law." — Excerpt from the Joint Statement
​Domestic Support
​It isn't just international peers backing him. Within the U.S., a coalition of former Fed Chairs—including Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, and Janet Yellen—issued their own statement condemning the probe as an "unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks" to weaken the institution.
​Even some Republican lawmakers, such as Senator Thom Tillis, have signaled they will block future Fed nominees until the independence of the DOJ's investigation is clarified.
