The Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs (EB) is a bureau within the U.S. Department of State tasked with promoting economic security and prosperity at home and abroad. It reports to the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment. The Bureau's work lies at the nexus of economic prosperity and national security. In addition, EB also addresses a range of economic issues including intellectual property rights, piracy, and counterfeiting.[2] As the single point where international economic policy tools and threads converge, EB helps to promote a coherent economic policy across the U.S. government.[3] It is headed by the Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs. Ramin Toloui led the Bureau from January 2022 to June 2024.[4][5]
