Functions of the Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve System looks after the financial activities and operations of the banking system. It is the apex body that has complete control over the banking regulations. All the guidelines regarding the banking system, money supply, and formulation of the monetary policy come under the purview of the Federal Reserve System. The New York Fed also helps in drafting the monetary policy and supervising the financial system.
