Roberto Coronado, assistant vice president in charge at the El Paso Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, addressed students and community members at Western New Mexico University's Global Resource Center on Thursday morning.
Francesca Reyes, WNMU assistant professor of economics, introduced Coronado as part of the business department's lecture series.
She said Coronado is a senior economist with oversight at the El Paso Branch. He addresses border issues, including maquiladoras in Mexico, and is also a professor at the University of Texas, El Paso.
"I am giving three presentations in one," Coronado said. "I will give an overview of the Federal Reserve, monetary policy and an economic update."
