Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig is retiring October 1.<\/p>\n<p>While retirement was imminent because of Hoenig&#8217;s age, the Fed officially announced his departure Friday morning. Fed presidents are subject to mandatory retirement once they reach 65 years old. <\/p>\n<p>The regional bank has formed a committee to select Hoenig&#8217;s successor.<\/p>\n<p>Hoenig is known for being the Fed&#8217;s lone dissenter last year, after he opposed the Fed&#8217;s historically low interest rates at all eight Federal Open Market Committee meetings in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>He has recently opposed the Fed&#8217;s controversial policy of stimulating the economy through $600 billion in Treasury purchases, known as <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2010\/11\/03\/news\/economy\/fed_decision\/index.htm\">quantitative easing<\/a>, and called for a <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.fortune.cnn.com\/2011\/03\/02\/its-time-to-end-the-party-of-easy-money\/\">hike in interest rates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In his outspokenness, Hoenig has often invoked the <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/galleries\/2011\/news\/1103\/gallery.federal_reserve_flubs\/4.html\">Fed&#8217;s famous &#8220;punch bowl&#8221; line<\/a>, referring to a need to raise interest rates as the economy improves and before <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2011\/03\/17\/news\/economy\/cpi_inflation\/index.htm\/\">inflation<\/a> and asset bubbles take hold.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really want to take away the punch bowl before the room gets drunk, because this punch is &#8212; I think &#8212; a little bit spiked,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.fortune.cnn.com\/2011\/03\/02\/its-time-to-end-the-party-of-easy-money\/\">Hoenig said<\/a> at the Council on Foreign Relations earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Hoenig joined the Kansas City Fed as an economist in 1973.
