The central bank did not shed any new light on the internal discussions on its plans to reduce its $4.5 trillion balance sheet on Wednesday when it released a short statement after a two-day meeting. “We will learn about the deliberations and the state of the [balance sheet] debate in upcoming speeches,” said Harm Bandholz, chief U.S. economist at UniCredit. In the minutes of the March meeting, ...
I appreciate your invitation to participate in this afternoon's panel discussion. In my remarks, I will discuss how U.S. monetary policy actions affect our foreign trading partners, with particular focus on how foreign economies have responded to the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) ongoing normalization of policy rates.1 Spillovers from the Fed's Unconventional Policies Extensive empirical research on spillovers--including by Federal Reserve and International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff members--indicates that spillovers from ...
