#FOMCMeeting The meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is a key event for U.S. monetary policy. The FOMC meets regularly to assess the economy and decide on interest rates. Its decisions affect inflation, employment, and economic growth. During the meetings, they analyze economic data, market trends, and global conditions. The decisions made influence financial markets, the cost of credit, and economic stability. Post-meeting statements provide guidance on future policies. The transparency and decisions of the FOMC are fundamental to both the U.S. and international economies.
