Chapter 13-4 The Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve  A central bank is an institution that oversees and regulates the banking system and controls the monetary base.  The Federal Reserve is a central bank—an institution that oversees and regulates the banking system, and controls the monetary base.  The Federal Reserve system consists of the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., plus regional Federal Reserve Banks, each serving its district; of the 12 Federal Reserve districts:

The Federal Reserve System

Tools of Monetary Policy Changing the reserve requirement Changing the discount rate Executing open market operations (buying and selling government securities) and thereby affecting the Federal funds rate

The Reserve Requirement and the Money Supply The Fed can increase or decrease the money supply by changing the reserve requirement.

The Reserve Requirement and the Money Supply* If the Fed decreases the reserve requirement, it expands the money supply. –Banks have more money to lend out. –The money multiplier increases.

The Reserve Requirement and the Money Supply* If the Fed increases the reserve requirement, it contracts the money supply. –Banks have less money to lend out. –The money multiplier decreases.

Changing the Discount Rate A bank can borrow reserves directly from the Fed, if it experiences a shortage of reserves. The discount rate is the rate of interest the Fed charges for those loans it makes to banks.

Changing the Discount Rate By changing the discount rate, the Fed can expand or contract the level of bank reserves and the money supply.

Changing the Discount Rate* An increase in the discount rate makes it more expensive for banks to borrow from the Fed. A decrease in the discount rate makes it less expensive for banks to borrow from the Fed.

What the Fed does: Their Tools!  The federal funds market allows banks that fall short of the reserve requirement to borrow funds from banks with excess reserves.  The federal funds rate is the interest rate determined in the federal funds market.  The discount rate is the rate of interest the Fed charges on loans to banks.

Discount Rate v. Fed Fund Rate In practice, the discount rate is generally a slightly higher than other rates banks would have to pay to borrow reserves.

The Fed Funds Rate and the Discount Rate since 1990

Open Market Operation principal tool Open-market operations by the Fed are the principal tool of monetary policy: the Fed can increase or reduce the monetary base by buying government debt from banks or selling government debt to banks. The Federal Reserve’s Assets and Liabilities:

Executing Open Market Operations For day-to-day operations the Fed uses a third tool, open market operations. Open market operations are the Fed’s buying and selling of government securities.

Executing Open Market Operations** To expand money supply, the Fed buys bonds. To contract money supply, the Fed sells bonds.

An Open Market Purchase When the Fed buys bonds, it deposits the money in federal government accounts at a bank. Bank cash reserves rise, encouraging banks to lend out the excess. The money supply rises.

Open-Market Operations by the Federal Reserve An Open-Market Purchase of $100 Million

An Open Market Sale When the Fed sells bonds, In return for the bond, the Fed receives a check drawn against a bank. The bank’s reserve assets are reduced and money supply falls.
