Around the District
The SF Fed engages with businesses and communities across the region to gather real-time information on local economic conditions. These insights provide important context to quantitative data and analyses that the Federal Reserve uses to guide its monetary policy efforts. We also work to connect constituents with research, expertise, and networks that strengthen local economies. In this way, regional engagement furthers the SF Fed’s mission of advancing the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for Americans. The Federal Reserve’s system of 12 Reserve Banks, with the SF Fed representing the western states, helps ensure that local and regional perspectives inform Federal Reserve policies, actions, and decision-making.
