President Hammack addressed a gathering in Columbus, Ohio, on April 16, 2025, discussing the Federal Reserve System's approach to monetary policy. The Cleveland Fed, a vital part of these efforts, plays a significant role in economic education and research for the Fourth Federal Reserve District, which includes Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

"Our research informs the public and policymakers by examining economic issues of importance to those in our local communities, across the nation, and around the world," a representative from the Federal Reserve stated. The Cleveland Fed collaborates with the Board of Governors in Washington D.C. and other regional banks to help shape the nation's monetary policy. Their responsibilities include supervising banking institutions and supporting financial stability.

Additionally, resources produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland provide valuable information on various economic conditions, such as inflation and employment rates. These resources serve not only the Fourth District but also communities nationwide. "We represent and gather information from the Fourth Federal Reserve District, spanning Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky," they added.

Through its branches in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, the Cleveland Fed is actively involved in outreach and educational initiatives to enhance community well-being across its district.
