Annual Reports

In this year’s annual report, you will learn about our work, our people, our mission and our results. As in the past, we feature an essay on a timely topic that is central to America's economy. This year's essay — “After the Fall: Rebuilding Family Balance Sheets, Rebuilding the Economy” — focuses on the need to rebuild household balance sheets in the wake of the financial crisis, a need that is important not only for families but for the economy overall. The co-authors are the director and chief economist for the St. Louis Fed's new Center for Household Financial Stability. That new center is the focus of the message from our president, James Bullard. Our chairman, Ward Klein, talks in his column about the roles and performance of the St. Louis Fed.
