Economy

The economy is a balance of producers creating and releasing goods, and consumers snatching up those goods. The economy is a reflection of all activity linked to production, consumption and the trading of goods and services within an area.

The Federal Reserve closely monitors the health of the economy and will make policy changes in order to keep the economy growing at a steady pace without overheating or falling apart.
