Eric Rosengren

Eric Rosengren is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, one of 12 regional Federal Reserve banks. Mr. Rosengren is a participant in the Federal Open Market Committee, the monetary policymaking body of the United States and a 2019 voting member. As CEO, Mr. Rosengren leads the Boston Fed's work, which includes economic research and analysis, banking supervision and financial stability efforts, community economic development activities, and a wide range of payments, technology, and finance initiatives.

Mr. Rosengren was appointed President in 2007 and has taken a rigorously data-driven approach in forming his views on the national and regional economy. His research and policy positions pay close attention to both aspects of the Fed's dual mandate – labor market outcomes as well as price stability. Mr. Rosengren's work as a researcher and now as a policymaker has often focused on financial stability issues and their impact on the real Main Street economy. He has led a number of efforts to expand the Boston Fed's outreach and impact on low- and moderate-income communities – among them hosting sizable foreclosure-prevention workshops for New England residents during the Great Recession, and running a competition for postindustrial New England communities to develop cross-sector collaboration and ultimately help improve the lives of lower-income residents.

Mr. Rosengren holds a Bachelor's Degree in Economics from Colby College, where he is the current chair of the board of trustees, and earned a Master's and Doctorate degrees in Economics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
