President Joe Biden has nominated three smart, diverse candidates to fill vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Predictably, Republicans are already complaining about their views, particularly those of Sarah Bloom Raskin, the nominee for vice-chair of supervision, who has expressed concern about the effects of climate change on financial stability and has an interest in the risks posed by shadow banking, cryptocurrencies and cyber security. Conservatives say her appointment would “politicise bank supervision”.
美国总统乔•拜登(Joe Biden)提名了三位精明、多元化的人选，填补美国联邦储备委员会(Federal Reserve Board of Governors)的空缺。毫不意外的是，共和党人已经在对这些人选的观点表达抱怨，特别是对负责金融监管的副主席的提名人选萨拉•布卢姆•拉斯金(Sarah Bloom Raskin)，她对气候变化对金融稳定的影响表达了担忧，并且关注影子银行、加密货币和网络安全带来的风险。保守派表示，她的任命将会“把银行监管政治化”。
