In complete sentences, explain two reasons why the Federal Reserve is made up of system of banks spread across the country.

The American central bank is known as the Federal Reserve System. In order to give the country a more secure, adaptable, and stable monetary and financial system, Congress established it in 1913. Its impact on banking and the economy has grown over time. It carries out five general tasks to advance the well-being of the American economy and, more broadly, the public interest.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the central bank of India, which was established on Apr. 1, 1935, under the Reserve Bank of India Act. The Reserve Bank of India uses monetary policy to create financial stability in India, and it is charged with regulating the country’s currency and credit systems.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the central bank of India.

The RBI was originally set up as a private entity in 1935, but it was nationalized in 1949.

The main purpose of the RBI is to conduct consolidated supervision of the financial sector in India, which is made up of commercial banks, financial institutions, and non-banking finance firms.

The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States. It performs five general functions to promote the effective operation of the U.S. economy and, more generally, the public interest.

The Federal Reserve conducts the nation’s monetary policy to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates in the U.S. economy.

This promotes the stability of the financial system and seeks to minimise and contain systemic risks through active monitoring and engagement in the U.S. and abroad, promotes the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and monitors their impact on the financial system as a whole.

Fosters payment and settlement system safety and efficiency through services to the banking industry and the U.S. government that facilitate U.S.-dollar transactions and payments, and promotes consumer protection and community development through consumer-focused supervision and examination.

A Not-So-Sweet Side of Chocolate


Growing the Cacao Trees
The chocolate that ends up on supermarket shelves usually contains cocoa or cacao. Both are made from cacao beans, which are harvested from cacao trees. Much of this harvesting is done in Ivory Coast. The country is the world's top cacao producer. But not all cacao farming in Ivory Coast is done legitimately. And widespread illegal cacao farming has caused a deforestation crisis for the West African nation.
A 2017 investigation by environmental group Mighty Earth found that many of Ivory Coast's national parks and protected areas "have been entirely or almost entirely cleared of forest." The trees have been replaced with cacao-growing operations. One of these areas is Mont Péko National Park. It is home to chimpanzees, pygmy hippopotamuses, and other endangered species.
For activists, chocolate is not an acceptable tradeoff for ecologically valuable forests. "We can't indulge in a feel-good luxury product at the expense of a huge swath of tropical rainforest," said Etelle Higonnet, a senior advisor for Mighty Earth.
In 2017, the governments of Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's other top cacao producer, reached an agreement with officials representing several food giants that make chocolate, like Nestlé, Mars, and Hershey. They pledged to work together to end deforestation. Rick Scobey, the president of the World Cocoa Foundation, called it an "important environmental achievement." Mars furthered its pledge in 2018. It committed to purchasing all of its cocoa from sustainable sources by 2025.
Now, park rangers in Ivory Coast are doing their part to protect the country's forests from illegal farming. On a recent patrol in Mont Péko National Park, it didn't take long for the rangers to find cacao growing illegally. Using machetes, the team set to work removing it.
But for all these efforts, there has been limited progress, said Kpolo Ouattara, head of the Mont Péko sector for the Ivorian Office of Parks and Reserves. "Roughly, more than 800 hectares [1,977 acres] of cacao has been cut. Compared to the park's total area of 34,000 hectares [84,016 acres], that's very little."
Some observers worry that local traders are willing to turn a blind eye to illegally farmed cacao that is headed for the global chocolate market. That means that farmers are able to sell their cacao beans whether they're legally grown or not. So some of the world's beloved chocolate likely comes from beans that were grown illegally.
Higonnet believes chocolate companies have a duty to let their customers know where their chocolate is coming from. "Let's have total transparency all the way from the bar in your hand…down to the farm," she said. "[Chocolate producers should] really give customers peace of mind that chocolate eating isn't contributing to killing chimps or elephants."
Working on Cacao Farms
When it comes to chocolate production, human rights are yet another concern. West Africa's cacao farmers work in difficult conditions to harvest the beans. And many of these cacao workers are children. Some of them aren't paid.
In 2015, Tulane University in the United States released a study on child labor in the West African chocolate industry. The report estimated that 2.1 million child laborers in Ivory Coast and Ghana worked in cacao production in the 2013–2014 cacao harvest season. It also found that almost 96 percent of the children were involved in hazardous work. Some of the children studied were also deprived of an education. In fact, Tulane estimated that in Ivory Coast, about 30 percent of the children who worked in cacao farming did not attend school.
The dark side of the chocolate industry has made some chocolate lovers think twice about the chocolate they eat. Scobey says customers should choose brands that advertise their adherence to international standards. He also recommends that customers check brand websites for information about their commitments to environmental and human rights concerns.
