U.S. Federal Reserve Bank policy emerging from the September 2011 FOMC meeting

09/07/2011

The Fed's policy according to Neil Irwin of the Washington Post, is to move in the direction of reducing the composition of its bond portfolio rather than printing new money for new bond purchases. That policy of printing money for bond purchases came under criticism from Republican presidential candidates and there were three dissenters at the last FOMC meeting. Mindful of this the Fed is now considering a policy called a "switch," of buying more long term bonds and reducing the short term bonds in its portfolio. This would reduce long term interest rates. The impact on the housing market of past and current moves is limited by the fact that the mortgage markets are not functioning properly, as a large proportion of homeowners are under water (owe more than their house is worth). The Fed's effort come under its mandate to keep unemployment in check in addition to inflation.
