SIGNS OF ECONOMIC SLOWING FOLLOW BLOCKBUSTER YEAR FOR
WEST
The San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank’s publication, Western
Economic Developments (WED), has a new look and a new focus.
In this issue, Fed regional economists highlight overall conditions
as the economy slows. Special attention is given to energy costs,
employment, consumer confidence and spending, stock options and
capital gains, housing and construction. In addition, this issue
debuts a feature called "High-tech Watch."

| WHY: |
|
Future issues of the WED will focus on in-depth analysis of special
economic topics in the region. With this new focus, WED’s design
was streamlined to provide easier access to information such as:
real estate, employment, and export data. Economics and Business
reporters who are researching the regional economy and are seeking
neutral, third-party input to bring perspective to their stories
may wish to view FRBSF’s Western Economic Developments.
