Dudley was appointed for his first full term as president and CEO in 2011 and reappointed in 2016.
He worked closely with Janet Yellen in formulating the gradual approach to reducing stimulus and was integral to the Fed's strategy for reducing the Fed's balance sheet. He has been a strong advocate for strengthening the nation’s financial system and payments infrastructure after the 2008 financial crisis. Following the LIBOR scandals, Dudley was part of an international effort to reform and improve reference rates, including the creation of a new set of New York Fed-administered benchmark rates.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced on November 6, 2017 that Dudley would retire from his position in mid-2018 in order to ensure a successor is in place well before the end of his term in January 2019.
