Commonly known as the Beige Book, this report is published eight times per year. Each Federal Reserve Bank gathers anecdotal information on current economic conditions, most of which focuses on the economy’s general overview, inflation, and employment.

Beige Book: Economic activity is largely unchanged; wage growth slows, and inflation pressures persist amid tariff-driven cost increases
