| | Federal Reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Federal Reserve is financially independent because it runs a surplus, due in part to its ownership of government bonds. | | | The Federal Reserve System was created via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which "established a new central bank designed to add both flexibility and strength to the nation's financial system." The legislation provided for a system that included a number of regional Reserve Banks and a seven-member governing board. | | | The Federal Reserve can also directly set the discount rate, which is the interest rate that banks pay the Fed to borrow from it. |

| | Federal Reserve Board Regulations as supplied by EagleTraders.com |
| | Furthermore, reserves may also be required on the deposit liabilities of foreign branches, subsidiaries and international banking facilities of both member and nonmember banks, but such reserve requirements are at the discretion of the board. | | | Generally, reserves are maintained in the form of vault cash or a noninterest bearing balance held with a Federal Reserve Bank on a direct or indirect basis. | | | To prevent discrimination, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve characterized Regulation B as imposing a delicate balance on the credit system, in recognition of the bank's need to know as much as possible about a prospective borrower and the borrower's right not to disclose information that is irrelevant to the transaction. |

| | Federal Reserve Board March 20 meeting |
| | Federal Reserve Board officials slashed interest rates by one-half of a percentage point for the third time in three months on March 20, warning that a slowdown in manufacturing, falling stock prices and tight corporate profit margins were hampering economic growth. | | | The group, which sets interest rate policy for the full board, voted to lower the federal funds rate to 5 percent from 5.5 percent and the federal discount rate to 4.5 percent from 5 percent. | | | The benchmark federal funds rate guides the private-market rates banks charge on everything from home equity loans to credit cards, as well as the rates they pay out on certificates of deposit. |

| | FRBSF Economic Letter: October 6, 1979.(Federal Reserve Board) @ HighBeam Research |
| | The federal funds interest rate is then allowed to adjust freely to bring the demand for reserves in line with the supply of reserves set by the central bank. | | | The dramatic policy actions by the Federal Reserve in 1979 represented an important break with the past, both in the way monetary policy was conducted and in the importance placed on controlling inflation. | | | With the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed's policymaking body, setting ranges for both money growth and the funds rate, it was not clear what would happen if, for example, the monetary aggregates grew faster than expected. |
