Abstract: This paper reflects on the experience of the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) related to its policy of Quantitative Tightening (QT) and spillover effect on BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South-Africa) and other selected emerging market economies. We have chosen a sample of countries to examine the impact of the Fed’s QT on 10-year government bond yields, between the period of 2012-2022. The result proves that the highest correlation between the long-end yields of the United States and the selected EM has materialized during the first QT (QT1) operation by the Fed between 2017 and 2019 for Peru, Brazil, India and Hungary. We expect the same behaviour of long-end yields during the second QT (QT2) policy for the selected emerging market countries.
