Banking Supervision and Regulation 

The Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation is responsible for the oversight of U.S. banking holding companies, foreign banking organizations operating in the U.S., and state-chartered member banks of the Federal Reserve System. The Division develops and implements safety and soundness and other regulations for these entities under Board direction and in collaboration with Reserve Banks and other domestic and international regulatory authorities. In addition, the Division supports the conduct of monetary policy by monitoring current conditions and prospective developments affecting the banking industry and financial markets more generally.

Quantitative Risk Management

The Quantitative Risk Management Section provides economic analysis supporting the Federal Reserve's supervisory and regulatory activities. Section economists carry out policy analysis and independent research related to financial markets, risk measurement and management, and the regulation of financial institutions. They represent the Board on various domestic and international working groups dealing with these topics. In addition, they participate in bank examinations where they review quantitative models used for internal risk management purposes and setting risk-based capital requirements.
