Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, one of the most influential economists in modern U.S. history, has died at the age of 100. His wife, NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell, said he died Monday from complications related to Parkinson’s disease.

Greenspan led the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006 after being appointed by President Ronald Reagan. According to a CNBC report, he served under four U.S. presidents and oversaw periods of strong economic growth, market volatility, and major financial shifts.

Widely known as the “Maestro,” Greenspan became famous for his complex communication style, often referred to as “Fedspeak.” His carefully worded public remarks were closely monitored by investors and policymakers because they frequently influenced global financial markets.

One of his most memorable comments came in 1996 when he warned about “irrational exuberance” in financial markets, triggering a temporary market sell-off.

After retiring, Greenspan openly acknowledged that his intentionally vague language was designed to avoid revealing too much about the Fed’s policy thinking, the report said.
