Monetary Policy
Monetary policies are “actions undertaken by a central bank…to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote national economic goals.” In the United States, the Federal Reserve sets monetary policy through two groups, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The Board of Governors handles discount rate and reserve requirements, while the FOMC handles open market operations. The responsibility to set monetary policy was given to the Federal Reserve by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913.
This collection features many congressional hearings documents related to monetary policy. For more information regarding this topic, the FOMC and the role of the Federal Reserve, please see the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s website.
