2006 FOMC Tentative Meeting Schedule Released Today
Today, The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee (FOMC) released their tentative meeting schedule for 2006. The FOMC doesn't always stick to the exact dates on the schedule (hence tentative), but they do always meet at least 8 times per calendar year.
