The Fed launches QE3 with a monthly quota of 40 billion U.S. dollars

The Federal Reserve recently announced the launch of the third round of large-scale asset purchases, or quantitative easing (QE3), to stimulate the US economy. QE3 will involve the monthly purchase of US Treasury and mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $400 billion.

This policy is an unprecedented action taken by the US Federal Reserve and will be a major economic tool to help stimulate the economy. The move is seen as a way to provide further economic stimulus to an economy in a slow-growth and sluggish recovery period.

The Federal Reserve believes that QE3 will provide further monetary support and push down long-term interest rates. This will in turn lead to a weaker dollar and help boost exports, which could ultimately lead to enhanced economic growth and job creation.

On the other hand, some analysts are concerned that this unprecedented level of easing could lead to economic distortions and cause the markets to become too dependent on the Federal Reserves monetary policy. While no one can accurately predict what kind of impact this large-scale asset purchases will have on the US economy, some are concerned that too much quantitative easing could lead to inflation.

The Fed, however, does not seem to share this concern and believes that QE3 will remain a powerful tool for monetary policy and help stimulate the US economy. The main aim of QE3 is to provide a sufficient degree of monetary policy stimulus to provide the needed support for a sustained economic recovery and job creation.

Overall, the Federal Reserves decision to launch QE3 is yet another step taken to promote economic growth and provide more stimulus for an economy in a difficult period. While the precise effects of the policy are still uncertain and pose some risk, the Feds gamble is sure to be closely watched by the markets and economic analysts as they analyze the effects of its implementation.

In the past, economists and analysts have warned of the dangers of relying too heavily on QE and other forms of unconventional monetary policies. However, with the US economy still struggling, and despite the risks, the Federal Reserve has decided to take things a step further with QE3 and its $400 billion monthly asset purchases.

Although the exact impact of QE3 on the US economy is currently uncertain, what is clear is that the Federal Reserve believes that this quantitative easing policy will be beneficial. In any case, the Federal Reserves decision to launch QE3 is a bold and innovative move, but one that will surely be closely monitored by economists and market analysts as its effects become clearer over the coming months.

In September of 2012, the Federal Reserve announced its newest quantitative easing program, QE3. Following on the heels of the first two rounds of the program, QE3 involves monthly purchases of long-term government securities to the tune of $40 billion a month for an open-ended period.

The goal of this move is to increase the availability of capital in the economy and to reduce long-term interest rates further. To further stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve is also extending its policies of reinvesting principal payments from existing securities to help maintain interest rates at near zero levels and have indicated they expect to keep the federal funds rate near zero into mid-2015.

The potential impacts of these policies are wide-ranging. Because of the increased availability of capital, companies can find access to more money to build new businesses and expand existing ones. They can also borrow more and at cheaper rates, allowing them to hire more workers and create new jobs. Consumers will benefit as well, as they will have more money to invest and also access cheaper loans to buy cars, houses, and more consumer products.

The downside of QE3 is that many economists fear that it could lead to higher levels of inflation. As well, there is a concern that much of the extra money put into the system could find its way into asset markets, such as stocks and bonds, leading to greater price appreciation rather than spurring new business growth or consumer spending.

Overall, though,QE3 is designed to help kick start the economy and help to reduce the stubborn unemployment rate. It is also worth noting that it could have consequences both in the United States and abroad. As this significant policy is implemented, time will tell what the net effects will be for economies around the world.
