Abstract

This is the official website of the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States. The site presents detailed information about the Federal Reserve system, its board of governors, Federal Reserve banks, and monetary policy. The site also provides access to information on payment systems, economic research and data, consumer information, reporting forms, and online publications. This site was named one of the “Best Free Reference Web Sites 2004;” and received this review in the RUSA Quarterly: “Maintained by the governing body of the Federal Reserve, this site provides an excellent gateway for the Federal Reserve System as a whole. Both banking professionals and those with a general interest in the economy will find useful features on this site. A search engine, as well as topical links, lead the user to rich descriptive and full-text material that includes press releases, statistical data, speeches, publications, and consumer information. In addition to descriptions of the twelve Federal Reserve district banks, there is an electronic map which links to the district homepages, which provide valuable information about different regional economies. This site is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in banking at the federal level or the economy as a whole.”–Reviewed March 5, 2004 “Best Free Reference Web Sites 2004,” RUSA Quarterly, Fall 2004.
