NY Federal Reserve In Queens

Current Business Economic Conditions In Queens 2011

March 11, 2011 / Flushing / Queens Buzz. I attended a presentation by the New York Federal Reserve president and CEO William C. Dudley. His purpose was to supplement the research done at the Federal New York Reserve with visits into ‘the field’ to see what’s going on economically. A visit following his speech by a vice president of his staff to Crystal Window & Door Systems was a part of that effort [use the search function to find related stories].

Dudley first talked about the role of the Federal Reserve, which is to manage the nation’s money supply. The Fed pursues a ‘dual mandate’ which is to purse the highest level of employment consistent with price stability. Dudley talked about the importance of the NY Federal Reserve in overseeing Wall Street and in helping the Federal Reserve execute monetary policy. Then he turned his remarks to the current state of the U.S., NYC and Queens economy.
