Question : 6) “Because monetary policy must be approved by the president : 1227841

 

6) “Because monetary policy must be approved by the president of the United States, the president is chair of the Federal Open Market Committee.” Analyze the previous statement—is it correct or incorrect?

Answer:  The statement is incorrect on several dimensions. First, monetary policy does not need to be approved by the President of the United States. Second, the president of the United States is not chair of the Federal Open Market Committee, FOMC. Third, the president of the United States is not even a member of the FOMC! The chair of the FOMC is the chair of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.

9) Briefly describe the Federal Reserve System, how it is governed, and its roles in the economy.

Answer:  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.
