The SF Fed engages with businesses and communities across the region to gather real-time information on local economic conditions. These insights provide important context to quantitative data and analyses that the Federal Reserve uses to guide its monetary policy efforts.<\/p>\n

We also work to connect constituents with research, expertise, and networks that strengthen local economies. In this way, regional engagement furthers the SF Fed\u2019s mission<\/a> of advancing the nation\u2019s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans.<\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve\u2019s system of 12 Reserve Banks<\/a>, with the SF Fed representing the western states, helps ensure that local and regional perspectives inform Federal Reserve policies, actions, and decision-making.<\/p>\n

Here are the highlights from our 2025 \u201cAround the District\u201d recap, shared by Laura Choi, Executive Vice President of Regional Engagement at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (SF Fed) serves the Twelfth District, the largest district in the Federal Reserve System<\/a>, representing nine western states, two territories, and a commonwealth. The Regional Engagement<\/a> team is regularly on the ground across the District, listening and learning from business and community leaders to gather real-time information on local economic conditions. In 2025, several themes emerged from these conversations: resilience, adaptation, and a desire for stability.<\/p>\n

Below are highlights from our engagement work across the District this year.<\/p>\n

These insights provided important context to the quantitative data and analysis that inform the Federal Reserve\u2019s monetary policy decisions. Key themes emerging from these discussions contribute to the Beige Book<\/a>, which is published eight times annually. In addition, we connected constituents with research<\/a>, expertise, and networks that support local economic economies \u2013 advancing our mission to build a stronger economy for all Americans.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for sharing your time and insights throughout the year. We look forward to continuing this important work in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The SF Fed engages with businesses and communities across the region to gather real-time information on local economic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[4162,1956,27205,7,27207,2289,540,60537,60538,3482,545,27201,27202,27203,60529,60530,27204,60531,60532,60533,60534,60535,60536,101,103,102,104,106,105,7041,4591,558],"class_list":["post-112611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-alaska","tag-arizona","tag-around-the-district","tag-california","tag-community-development","tag-hawaii","tag-idaho","tag-laura-choi","tag-native-communities","tag-nevada","tag-oregon","tag-posts-around-the-district","tag-posts-public-engagement","tag-posts-regional-engagement","tag-regions-alaska","tag-regions-arizona","tag-regions-california","tag-regions-hawaii","tag-regions-idaho","tag-regions-nevada","tag-regions-oregon","tag-regions-utah","tag-regions-washington","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-u-s-economy","tag-utah","tag-washington"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
