About the Center for Pacific Basin Studies

Background

Since 1974, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has conducted an active Pacific Basin program to promote cooperation among central banks in the region and enhance public understanding of major Pacific Basin economic policy issues. The Bank has sponsored international conferences and published books and articles on Pacific Basin issues. The Bank’s Center for Pacific Basin Studies (CPBS), established in 1990, opened the program to the participation of other institutions and individuals who wish to join in promoting greater understanding of major Pacific Basin monetary and economic policy issues.
