Money Market Analysis

The Money Market Analysis section engages in the formulation and implementation of monetary policy, and undertakes current analysis and longer-term research on money markets, banking, and macroeconomic issues. The section works closely with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in analyzing daily open market operations; more broadly, the section supports the Board and the FOMC by conducting research and analysis on a range of topics related to the tools and implementation of monetary policy. In recent years, staff's analysis and research has focused on the effect of the large-scale asset purchase programs on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, income, and interest rates. Staff members are also involved in a variety of longer-term projects related to reserve markets, money markets, and monetary policy accommodation.
