Nick Timiraos is the chief economics correspondent for *The Wall Street Journal*, where he focuses on covering the Federal Reserve and U.S. economic policy. He has been with the WSJ since 2006 and has reported on significant events such as the U.S. housing crisis and the government’s response to the foreclosure crisis, as well as the 2008 presidential election.

One of his most notable works is his 2022 book, *Trillion Dollar Triage*, which provides an inside look at how Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other policymakers managed the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Timiraos, who is often referred to as the “Fed whisperer” due to his deep insights into Federal Reserve actions, is considered highly influential in interpreting the Fed's decisions. He holds a degree from Georgetown University and is based in Washington, D.C., where he lives with his family.
