Office of the Chief Economist

The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) supports ABA’s advocacy efforts with quantitative capabilities and subject matter expertise. OCE produces data-driven analyses of the latest banking industry trends and assesses the impact certain policies will have on the banking sector, bank customers and the broader economy. OCE is comprised of three teams: the Banking and Financial Services Research staff, the Economic Policy and Research staff, and the Survey Research staff.

OCE also oversees the ABA Economic Advisory Committee — a group of chief economists from leading member banks that offer their shared assessment of the economy twice a year for the benefit of ABA members and the public.

The Office of the Chief Economist engages in rigorous quantitative economic analysis and aims to help ABA member banks of all sizes fulfill their mission and meet the financial needs of their customers and community."
