#FOMCMeeting The FOMC holds eight regularly scheduled meetings per year. At these meetings, the Committee reviews economic and financial conditions, determines the appropriate stance of monetary policy, and assesses the risks to its long-run goals of price stability and sustainable economic growth.

While the specific start times of these meetings are not publicly disclosed, it is customary for the FOMC to release its policy statement at 18:00 UTC (14:00 ET) on the second day of the meeting. Following the statement, a press conference led by the Federal Reserve Chair typically occurs at 18:30 UTC (14:30 ET).
