Keynote Speech: Federal Reserve Policy in the Post-Crisis Period

Mark Wynne

The International Trade Journal, 2015, vol. 29, issue 5, 346-360

Abstract: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) engaged in a series of extraordinary monetary policy actions in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 to support economic activity in the United States. Interest rates were lowered to their effective lower bound and the Fed's balance sheet was greatly expanded through a series of large-scale asset purchase programs. As the U.S. economy has recovered, "normalization" of monetary policy (which will be data-dependent) has drawn closer. This article reviews some factors that may impact the post-normalization course of monetary policy.
