San Francisco Fed’s Mary Daly Skips Conference Remarks After SVB Collapse

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly, who is among senior central bankers whose role in the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is under scrutiny, has pulled out of an appearance at a conference hosted by her bank.

Daly canceled plans to introduce colleague Governor Christopher Waller at a monetary policy conference being hosted by the San Francisco Fed on March 31, according to a bank spokeswoman, who said Daly had a scheduling conflict. Daly, who has frequently spoken at conferences, events and in media interviews, has no public engagements scheduled in the immediate future, the bank said. The spokeswoman declined further comment.
