Exploring Foreign Exchange Rates with FRED and the Federal Reserve
The collaboration between the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) program has resulted in expanded options for accessing, visualizing, and analyzing data from the Board’s Data Download Program (DDP) within FRED. This partnership aims to enhance the accessibility and usability of economic data for researchers, analysts, and policymakers. One of the key datasets available through this collaboration is the Foreign Exchange Rates dataset, which provides insights into the exchange rates of various currencies against the US dollar.
