Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh: Press conferences will continue this year

On 30 July, when the first Fed meeting was chaired in June, Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh had indicated that he might hold a post-session press conference only when specific information was available. But at the second meeting, he made it clear that he would continue to hold a press conference — at least for the rest of the year. The future of the post-session press conference may depend on the findings of the Federal Reserve Communications Working Group。
