Geithner Said to Remain Uninterested in Fed Chairmanship

Former Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner isn’t interested in serving as Federal Reserve Chairman after Lawrence Summers today withdrew from consideration for the post, according to a person familiar with Geithner’s thinking.

Geithner, who has consulted with President Barack Obama on whom to nominate, remains firm in his stance even after Summers informed Obama he no longer wished to be considered as a possible nominee to lead the central bank, according to the person, who asked not to be identified.
