Answer to Question 2

The Federal Reserve, or Fed, is the U.S. central bank. The Fed consists of twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks scattered across the United States. These banks are overseen by the Board of Governors, a seven member board located in Washington D.C., whose members are appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. The Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, is the group within the Fed that sets the nation's monetary policy. The voting members of the FOMC consist of the chair and other six members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and four presidents of the other regional Federal Reserve Banks, on a yearly rotating basis. The Fed's primarily role in the economy is to set and conduct the nation's monetary policy. The Fed also provides banking services to banks and helps regulate the nation's financial institutions and markets.
