On the occasion of the appointment of a new Pres of the European Central Bank (ECB) by EUCO (the European Council), a look at the US Federal Reserve System:
12 (not 50) regional Fed Reserve Banks plus a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and the Federal Reserve Board in DC.
Hence there is no Federal Reserve Bank of the US per se or a US Central Bank, but a Board of Governors in DC (plus an FOMC) and 12 regional federal reserve banks!
Strange, huh?
What do you think of this, from a public policy perspective?
