The Federal Reserve
When the Federal Reserve purchases billions of dollars in bonds each month, it has the power to influence the economy of the United States. But this increases the cost of living, which is a big problem, according to MARCA. The Federal Reserve announced in November that it would reduce its monthly bond-buying from $120 billion to $105 billion and eventually down to $90 billion in the coming months. Monthly purchases of government and mortgage securities have been slashed by 30 billion dollars in January.
As a result of this, the Federal Reserve’s stimulus program will be completely phased out by March 2020. Although some states continue to distribute stimulus checks, the federal government’s stimulus program has ended. Fed will follow suit and reduce the bond-buying stimulus program earlier than expected.
