Office of Financial Research
The Office of Financial Research (OFR) is a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, established in 2010. Its primary mission is to support the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) by providing data and analysis on the financial system. The OFR aims to enhance the understanding of risks and vulnerabilities in the financial markets.
The OFR collects and analyzes financial data to improve transparency and inform policymakers. It also develops tools and frameworks to assess systemic risks, ensuring that the financial system remains stable and resilient. By doing so, the OFR plays a crucial role in safeguarding the economy from potential crises.
