F e A T U R eR E t I R E M E N tRichard Fisher said, “This

has been the greatest pleasure of my life.”

Richard Fisher

Richard W. Fisher left his position as president/CEO of the Federal Re-serve Bank of Dal-las on March 29, the day after he turned 66. Fisher will be remem-bered for his fi-nancial acumen

laced with a keen sense of humor. Fisher joined the Dallas Fed April 4, 2005, succeeding Robert McTeer, who resigned to become chancellor of the Texas A&M University System. Fisher, who has an impressive resume with positions in banking, government ser-vice, and international trade, is known as an inflation hawk, while McTeer was known as a dove who focused on full employment. Fisher is not a classical-ly trained economist as was McTeer, who is a Ph.D. economist. While they differed on raising inter-est rates as well as other issues, they were similar in one respect: both loved to tell stories and both spoke plainly to translate complex economics. During his tenure at the Fed, Fisher never hesitated to speak his mind. When the Fed board chairman Alan Greenspan officially offered Fisher the Dallas Fed position, he included some advice, “Always speak the truth, and don’t pull any punches.” According to an article by Sheryl Jean, staff writer for The Dallas Morn-ing News who interviewed Fisher be-fore his retirement, he “would like to be remembered for making econom-ics understandable and contributing to sound economic policy during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.” During his 10 years at the Dallas Fed, Fisher was “one of the first Fed officials to voice his concerns about home mortgages, foreshadowing the housing crisis that led to the 2007-2009 recession. He was also against the Fed’s extended economic stimu-lus program (i.e., QE). Overall, when

Fisher was a voting member of the FOMC, he dissented nine times on the Fed policy votes as his views on how to boost the economy diverged from his fellow bankers, Jean writes. In the last few weeks before his re-tirement, Fisher offered suggestions for sweeping changes to the Fed’s structure: rotation of the vice chair-manship of the FOMC every two years to one of the 11 Fed presidents (ex-cluding New York) and regulation of the so-called systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) by a Fed

bank from a district other than the one in which the SIFI is headquartered. He would change the way voting is done at FOMC meetings so that, over a two-year stretch, all 50 states and all con-gressional districts would have some-one representing their constituents sitting as a voter at the table. He sug-gests holding a press conference im-mediately after every FOMC meeting to explain the policy decisions taken by the committee. As this issue goes to press, Fisher’s (continued on Page 12)

Before joining BOK Financial, El-linor had a 20-year banking career in Texas and maintains a residence in Austin. He plans to return there to be near family and pursue entrepreneur-ial opportunities.
