The Federal Reserve's balance sheet has undergone significant changes since 2007, reflecting its response to major economic crises. From a modest *** trillion U.S. dollars at the end of 2007, it ballooned to approximately **** trillion U.S. dollars by July 2025. This dramatic expansion, particularly during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic - both of which resulted in negative annual GDP growth in the U.S. - showcases the Fed's crucial role in stabilizing the economy through expansionary monetary policies. Impact on inflation and interest rates The Fed's expansionary measures, while aimed at stimulating economic growth, have had notable effects on inflation and interest rates. Following the quantitative easing in 2020, inflation in the United States reached ***** percent in 2022, the highest since 1991. However, by *********, inflation had declined to *** percent. Concurrently, the Federal Reserve implemented a series of interest rate hikes, with the rate peaking at **** percent in ***********, before the first rate cut since ************** occurred in **************. Financial implications for the Federal Reserve The expansion of the Fed's balance sheet and subsequent interest rate hikes have had significant financial implications. In 2023, the Fed reported a negative net income of ***** billion U.S. dollars, a stark contrast to the ***** billion U.S. dollars profit in 2022. This unprecedented shift was primarily due to rapidly rising interest rates, which caused the Fed's interest expenses to soar to over *** billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Despite this, the Fed's net interest income on securities acquired through open market operations reached a record high of ****** billion U.S. dollars in the same year.

Graph and download economic data for Federal government current tax receipts: Taxes on production and imports: Customs duties (B235RC1Q027SBEA) from Q1 1959 to Q2 2025 about receipts, imports, tax, federal, production, government, GDP, and USA.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 created the Reserve Bank Organizing Committee which divided the counties of the United States into twelve Federal Reserve Districts each with its own Federal Reserve Bank. The size and vitality of these districts varied. Some were densely populated with substantial urban areas and large industries. Others were sparsely populated and largely rural with the preponderance of the population working in agriculture. Some grew rapidly. Others grew slowly. To help understand the Fed’s role in the evolution of the U.S. economy, we construct a dataset with estimated annual population in each Fed district from 1890 to 1950.

The survey data are used to gather information specifically tailored to the Federal Reserve’s policy and operational responsibilities. The frequency and content of the questions, as well as the entities contacted, vary depending on developments in the economy.

The Federal Reserve uses this event-driven survey to obtain information specifically tailored to the Federal Reserve's supervisory, regulatory, and operational responsibilities. The Federal Reserve conducts the survey as needed up to 24 times per year. The frequency and content of the questions depend on changing economic, regulatory, supervisory, or legislative developments. Respondents comprise financial businesses. This survey may be mandatory for financial institutions regulated by the Federal Reserve and voluntary for all other respondents.

On August 23, 2013, the Federal Reserve published a final rule in the Federal Register (78 FR 52391). This final rule implements section 318 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which directs the Federal Reserve to collect assessments, fees, or other charges equal to the total expenses the Federal Reserve estimates are necessary or appropriate to carry out the supervisory and regulatory responsibilities of the Federal Reserve for bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more and nonbank financial companies designated for Federal Reserve supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Each assessed company would have thirty calendar days from June 30 or, for the 2012 assessment period, thirty calendar days from the Board’s issuance of a notice of assessment for that assessment period, to submit a written statement to appeal the Board’s determination (1) that the company is an assessed company or (2) of the company’s total assessable assets. These reporting requirements are found in section 246.5(b) of the final rule.

The FR K-1 comprises a set of applications and notifications that govern the formation of Edge or agreement corporations and the international and foreign activities of U.S. banking organizations. This set of applications and notifications is in the form of eleven attachments (labeled attachment A through K) and collect information on projected financial data, purpose, _location, activities, and management. Member banks, bank holding companies, Edge and agreement corporations, and certain foreign banking organizations file the FR K-1.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, submission of this application is required for any company organized under the laws of a foreign country seeking to acquire a U.S. subsidiary bank or bank holding company. Applicants must provide financial and managerial information, discuss the competitive effects of the proposed transaction, and discuss how the proposed transaction would enhance the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve uses the information, in part, to fulfill its supervisory responsibilities with respect to foreign banking organizations in the United States.

Data supporting the chapter "The Role of Real Wages, Productivity, and Fiscal Policy in Germany’s Great Depression, 1928-37."

Many of the Federal Reserve's (the Fed's) monetary policy operations involve trading with primary dealers. We find that, for agency MBS, dealers charge 2.5 cents (per $100 face value) higher selling to the Fed than to non-Fed customers. Controlling for the same dealer, same security, and same trading time, this discriminatory pricing likely arises from dealers' market power rather than inventory costs. Further, matching trade size reduces the price differential by more than half, implying that dealers' market power greatly relates to the Fed's purchases in large amounts, whereas the Fed's limited breadth of counterparty choice also plays some role.
