The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, commonly known as the Boston Fed, is responsible for the First District of the Federal Reserve, which covers most of Connecticut (excluding Southwestern Connecticut[1]), Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.[2][3] It is headquartered in the Federal Reserve Bank Building in Boston, Massachusetts. The code of the Bank is A1, meaning that dollar bills from this Bank will have the letter A on them. Its current president is Eric S. Rosengren, who replaced Cathy E. Minehan in July 2007.

As part of the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston promotes sound growth and financial stability in New England and the nation. The Bank contributes to local communities, the region, and the nation through its high-quality research, regulatory oversight, and financial services, and through its commitment to leadership and innovation.

The Boston Fed is in a distinctive 614-foot (187 m) tall, 32-story building, located at 600 Atlantic Avenue in Boston. The building, designed by architecture firm Hugh Stubbins & Associates, is suspended between two towers on either side. The Boston Fed also includes the New England Public Policy Center.
