New York Fed appoints Krieger to lead new credit risk management group

The Fed formed the group in recognition of the cross-bank co-ordination involved in the analysis of payment and settlement systems matters and the assessment and management of the bank’s risk exposure.

Prior to her new role, Krieger held the positions of head of the payments policy function and chair and administration head of the subcommittee on credit risk management.

Her responsibilities include analysing key payments system issues confronting the bank and Federal Reserve system and developing payments policy positions for the bank. She is also responsible for overseeing payment system risk, discount window and condition monitoring policies and promoting consistency, co-ordination and communication across reserve banks with respect to the provision of short-term liquidity.
