Excerpts from the report regarding Tim Geithner are below.
On who might be the next chair of the Federal Reserve:
“There is a lot of talk about who might be the next Fed chairman. [BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink is saying it could be [former Treasury Secretary] Tim Geithner. He’s not a bad choice, he ran the Treasury Department and BlackRock is very close to the Treasury Department. Fink is telling friends on the street not to rule out Geithner.”
