The probabilities of another round of quantitative easing or QE III in the U.S.
06/02/2011
Probabilities for a QE 3 in June 2011 are low, with inflation expected over the next 5 years at 2.8%, as suggested by TIPS. The Fed's thinking as reflected in comments by presidents of Fed regional banks is that there will be growth, even if it is "frustratingly slow at times." The Fed could act if a deflationary trend sets in. The extraordinary amount of liquidity- with about $2 trillion of bond purchases by the Fed since the 2008 crisis -acts as a counter weight to the housing slump, and to weak data for jobs and manufacturing.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
