4 Background 1. What is the Federal Reserve? Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49
5 Background 1. What determines monetary policy? Price level, inflation, output, and financial stability Required by congress: maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates First two goals known as dual mandate What does historically? Inflation, unemployment, output growth, and financial instability Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49
6 Background 1. Dual Mandate. Two Goals: Stable prices (low inflation) Inflation goal: 2 percent per year Maximum (sustainable) employment Target often stated in terms of the unemployment rate relative to the so-called natural rate of unemployment or NAIRU (non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment) Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49
7 Background 1. How can monetary policy achieve these goals? Monetary policy: Actions undertaken by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve, to influence the availability and cost of money and credit to help promote national economic goals. (Source: Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49

9 Background 1. How does the FOMC set the interest rate? The Federal Reserve requires banks to hold a minimum level of reserves based on their deposits, which can influence banks funds available for lending Banks with excess reserves (liquidity) can lend to banks needing reserves to cover deposit shortfalls/lending needs. The FOMC sets a target for the Federal Funds Rate (FFR) the overnight interest rate used by banks to borrow/lend reserve balances Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49
10 Background 1. The banking system: A stylized example. Citizen sells a machine for $100. Deposits into bank Loan: $90 Bank 1 10% reserves Checking Account 1: +$100 Another citizen borrows $90 to buy a machine. Seller deposits into bank Loan: $81 Bank 2 10% reserves Checking Account 2: +$90 And another citizen borrows $81 to buy a machine. Seller deposits into bank And so on... The initial $100 deposit has been followed by creation of $171 in new money. Bank reserves have increased by $19. Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49

46 Road Ahead 3. The current policy debate. The labor markets have improved and the unemployment rate is close to the natural rate. Inflation is subdued, and the longer-run inflation outlook has softened a bit. Output growth is expected to be moderate over the next few years. There is some downside risk to the outlook in the near-term from global economic conditions and financial market volatility. The key question is when the FOMC should begin raising the Federal Funds rate. This year? Next year? Cooper (Boston Fed) NCSL October 14, / 49
