But what exactly is the Beige Book?

Beige Book Facts

It is called The ‘Beige Book’ because its cover is the colour beige.

It is a report published by the US Federal Reserve eight times a year.

The report is published in advance of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings.

Each report presents information on current economic conditions gathered by each Federal Reserve Bank in its district.

Investors and commentators crawl over the report for an economic insight.

That’s more or less all there is to know about the ‘Beige Book’.
