#FOMCMeeting
The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings annually, discussing economic developments, assessing risks, and making interest rate decisions. Meeting participants share views on current conditions, economic outlook, and policy options. The committee uses quantitative words like "all," "most," "many," and "some" to characterize the number of policymakers aligned with particular views. These meetings provide valuable insights into the Federal Reserve's decision-making process, ensuring transparency and accountability. The discussions and decisions made during FOMC meetings significantly impact the US economy and financial markets ¹ ².
