Abstract: The global financial crisis which took place at the end of the first decade of the XXI century, revealed the necessity of mending the policy framework that governs central banks worldwide, to accommodate in its toolkit new monetary policy measures. This paper gives an overview of the unorthodox measures implemented by some of the largest economies in the world in their efforts to overcome the crisis, concluding that modern central banks seems to have found that when the interest rate loses the ability to influence the economy by having touched its zero lower bound, monetary liquidity acquires the ability to act at a macroeconomic level without unbalancing the real economy.
