 PROFILE
The Federal Reserve System, made famous by the bullish stock market of the 1990s, sets discount interest rates (the rate at which its member banks may borrow), which in turn influences the pace of lending and -- many believe -- the pace of the economy itself. The Fed, as it is known, through a nationwide network of 12 banks representing 12 regions, also regulates and examines US banks, clears money transfers, issues currency, and buys or sells government securities to regulate the money supply. Through its powerful New York bank, the Fed conducts the US's foreign currency transactions, buys or sells on the world market to support the dollar's value, and stores gold for foreign governments and international agencies.
