Description

The Federal Reserve System (the Fed) has been the central bank of the United States since it was created in 1913. The main purpose of a central bank is to regulate the supply of money and credit to the economy. This article focuses on the board of governors, the Fed's principal policy-making organization, as playing a key role in this process.
