Crash course - The origins of the financial crisis THE collapse of Lehman Brothers, a sprawling global bank, in September 2008 almost brought down the world’s financial system. It took huge taxpayer-financed bail-outs to shore up the industry. Even so, the ensuing credit crunch turned what was already a nasty downturn into the worst recession in 80 years. Massive monetary and fiscal stimulus prevented a buddy-can-you-spare-a-dime depression, but the recovery remains feeble compared with previous post-war upturns. With half a decade’s hindsight, it is clear the crisis had multiple causes.

Trump and the Fed Donald Trump has thrown more than one curve ball since becoming President, but his looming choice to run the Federal Reserve Board could be his biggest bender to date. He may choose a Fed Chairman who represents the monetary policies that have favored the affluent and done little or nothing for the real economy. Mr. Trump is considering a mix of insider and outsider candidates. The insiders include current Chair Janet Yellen, whose term expires early next year, and five-year Fed board veteran Jerome “Jay” Powell.

Tough market abuse rules should cover currency markets - BoE's Carney World needs to end risky reliance on U.S. dollar: BoE's Carney Le Quantitative Easing (QE), c'est quoi? Comment une banque centrale peut-elle injecter de l'argent dans l'économie? Elle imprime des billets et basta? Le Captain' vous explique tout cela, en vous introduisant le concept de l'assouplissement quantitatif, alias le Quantitative Easing. Pour augmenter la masse monétaire en circulation, la banque centrale dispose d'un outil conventionnel : le taux directeur. En période de crise, une banque centrale baisse son taux directeur, ce qui fait baisser les taux sur le marché interbancaire et fait donc ensuite diminuer le taux auquel les entreprises peuvent emprunter. Mais avec la crise financière, un outil dont on entendait peu parler auparavant est réapparu : le "quantitative easing". C'est à partir de cette période, c'est à dire fin 2008, que la Federal Reserve a commencé ses opérations de Quantitative Easing. 1) En accord avec le trésor, la Banque Centrale (ici celle d'Angleterre) crée de la monnaie.
Quantitative easing Expansionary monetary policy to stimulate the economy typically involves the central bank buying short-term government bonds to lower short-term market interest rates. However, when short-term interest rates approach or reach zero, this method can no longer work (a situation known as a liquidity trap). In such circumstances, monetary authorities may then use quantitative easing to further stimulate the economy, by buying specified quantities of financial assets without reference to interest rates, and by buying riskier or longer maturity assets (other than short-term government bonds), thereby lowering interest rates further out on the yield curve. Quantitative easing can help bring the economy out of recession and help ensure that inflation does not fall below the central bank's inflation target. Process[edit] Standard central bank monetary policies are usually enacted by buying or selling government bonds on the open market to reach a desired target for the interbank interest rate.
