Monetary policy was stretched to new levels of involvement during the crisis of 2008. Central banks resorted to policies such as Quantitative Easing (QE) that have never been seen before. QE, asset purchases by central banks, boosted the confidence of financial markets. It signalled a policy of loose rates and rebalances portfolios from low risk to high risk as it boosts market liquidity. In doing so, it creates a greater supply of money.
Key learning objectives:
Understand the impact of quantitative easing on the economy
