Key quotes Credit conditions seem tight and are getting tighter. Unemployment is up, and that's a caution sign.

How often does the Fed hold monetary policy meetings? The Federal Reserve holds eight policy meetings a year, where the Federal Open Market Committee assesses economic conditions and makes monetary policy decisions. The FOMC is attended by twelve Fed officials – the seven members of the Board of Governors, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and four of the remaining eleven regional Reserve Bank presidents, who serve one-year terms on a rotating basis.
