Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve
There are currently two vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, formerly held by Sarah Bloom Raskin and Jeremy C. Stein, to which Trump will be able to name appointees. All sitting members were appointed by Barack Obama. The current Fed Chair has a term which expires in early 2018, as does the primary Vice Chair, at which point Trump will be able to replace the holders of both of those roles. (Trump complained about Yellen in particular and the Fed in general during his campaign, but after his election has signalled that he would not push for an early resignation prior to that expiration. ) In addition to the primary Vice Chair role, there is also a new (Dodd-Frank) regulatory Vice Chair Of Supervision role, currently unfilled officially (albeit unofficially being held by Daniel Tarullo). It is expected that Trump will fill the two vacant seats, and then name one of those new appointees as Vice Chair of Supervision, during 2017. (He may additionally opt to replace the primary Vice Chair, and/or the Fed Chair, when their terms expire in 2018.) The following names have been mentioned as potential appointees to the board, which is a prerequisite of taking either of the vice chair roles (or the role of the chair). See also, the FOMC membership, which is a superset of the FRB membership discussed here. Although it is considered unlikely given the quasi-independent nature of the Fed, there is a possibility that the composition of the group itself (size and term-lengths and membership) could be directly altered by the Republican-controlled legislative and executive branches during the 2017–2019 session (see Federal Reserve Act), should the five sitting Obama-appointees come into serious conflict with the economic agenda of lawmakers (for instance in 1948 Marriner S. Eccles was replaced as chair by Thomas B. McCabe). During the 2016 campaign, candidates from both parties criticized the Fed's nominal independence from both politics and profit, albeit on different grounds: among other critics, Trump accused it of making economic decisions with an eye to influencing elections, and Clinton wanted to keep members of the banking industry from serving.

Appointees to all the roles under discussion here (board members, vice chairs, and fed chair) must undergo hearings before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on the way to being confirmed by a vote of the full Senate.

Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers
On February 8, 2017 President Trump outlined the 24 members of the Cabinet with the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers excluded. In addition to the chair, there are two other members of the council (also appointed by the president), as well as a staff of economists, researchers, and statisticians. Historically, appointees to chair the council have held Ph.Ds in economics, and the role of the group is to provide advice in the form of economic analysis with respect to policy, as distinct from shaping economic policy per se.

Trump released a list of his campaign's official economic advisers in August 2016, which simultaneously was anti-establishment and therefore lean on those with governmental experience, yet at the same time aimed to include some of the elites of business and finance, people with well-known names. Many of the names on the original list, or on the subsequent expansions thereof, received media attention as potential appointees to the Council of Economic Advisers, or in other Trump administration roles.

Although removed from the Cabinet, the nomination of a Chair-designate, once a choice has been made, is reviewed during hearings held by the members of the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and then presented to the full Senate for a vote.

See also, various other Trump administration roles directly related to the economy: director of the NEC (Cohn), Fed Vice-Chair, SEC chair (Clayton), OMB director (Mulvaney), Treasury secretary (Mnuchin), Commerce secretary (Ross), U.S. Trade Rep (Lighthizer), SBA administrator (McMahon), and several others.
