About the Bulletin
The content of the Federal Reserve Bulletin is published on a continuing basis, as it becomes available. The quarterly paper version of the Bulletin is no longer published. However, the Board prints an annual compilation.
Online access to the Bulletin is free. A free e-mail notification service is available to alert subscribers to new articles as they are released.
The Federal Reserve Bulletin was introduced in 1914 as a vehicle to present policy issues developed by the Federal Reserve Board. Throughout the years, the Bulletin has been viewed as a journal of record, serving to provide data generated by the Board back to the public. Authors from the Federal Reserve Boards' Research and Statistics, Monetary Affairs, International Finance, Banking Supervision and Regulation, Consumer and Community Affairs, Reserve Bank Operations, and Legal divisions contribute to the content published in each issue. The Bulletin includes topical research articles, legal developments, and other general information.
Tables that appeared in the Statistical Supplement to the Federal Reserve Bulletin, which was discontinued as of December 31, 2008 can be found at Data Sources for the Statistical Supplement to the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
The online version of the Bulletin responds to the increased use of the Internet to access information and makes the planning and production of the Bulletin more efficient. Publishing articles and reports on the web as they become available allows more timely introduction of research and information.
The Federal Reserve Bulletin is published under the direction of the Federal Reserve Board's Publications Committee. This committee is responsible for opinions expressed except in official statements and signed articles. It is assisted by the Publications Department under the direction of Lucretia Boyer, the Federal Reserve Board's Chief of Publications.
