Council of Economic Advisers

About

The Council of Economic Advisers, an agency within the Executive Office of the President established by Congress in the 1946 Employment Act, is charged with offering the President objective economic advice on the formulation of both domestic and international economic policy. The Council bases its recommendations and analysis on economic research and empirical evidence, using the best data available to support the President in setting our nation’s economic policy to promote employment, production, and purchasing power under free competitive enterprise. Under President Trump, Pierre Yared serves as Acting Chair and Kim Ruhl serves as Member of the CEA.
