AsiaSource is the gateway to publicly available information on Asia issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The two main sources of Asia related publications and analysis are the Center for Pacific Basin Studies (CPBS), which is part of the Economic Research Department, and the Country Analysis Unit (CAU), which is part of the Banking Supervision & Regulation Department.

 

Country Analysis Unit

The Banking Supervision and Regulation department’s Country Analysis Unit closely analyzes Asian financial sector developments to support the Reserve Bank's oversight of the U.S. branches and subsidiaries of 22 Asian banks. Because conditions in home markets can affect these banks' abilities to support their U.S. operations, Reserve Bank staff monitor not only the financial strength of Asian parent banks, but also the quality of Asian bank regulatory systems and the potential impact of broader economic, political, and social trends.
