The Tools of Monetary Policy

This video lesson graphically presents the three tools Central Banks have at their disposal for managing the level of aggregate demand in the economy. Through increasing or decreasing the money supply, a central bank has influence over the interest rates in a nation, and therefore over the level of investment and consumption among firms and households. To accomplish this, three tools are employed: The reserve requirement, the open market purchase or sale of government bonds, and the discount rate.
This lesson illustrates these three tools and explains the relative importance of each to monetary policy makers.

This video is WONDERFUL! THANK YOU for putting this topic out here in such a visual way!!!!!

[@LadyJane31049]

The video is very informative and now I can relate it to my countrys central bank role and its effects on the economy. I used to watch the news regarding the central bank but never have I understood whatever they are saying. Now I get the whole idea of the commercial banks and the household. This knowledge shared will greatly help me become very informative about my country. Thank You so much.

Thank you so much! You don't know how helpful this has been. I have been reading this monetary policy for a long time and keep getting all confused. You made it more relatable to real life events than using all the economic jargons.

Monetary policy instruments are a set of measures whose main purpose is to change the amount of money in circulation. They are applied to change the number of loans, interest rates and other criteria of the foreign exchange market and the loan capital market.The monetary policy carried out by the Central Bank of the country is a segment of the state policy in the sphere of economy. Its main task is to regulate the volume of money supply and maintain the optimal level of purchasing power of the national currency. In case of production decline, the increase in the amount of money leads to an increase in consumption, and in case of inflation their reduction stabilizes the situation in the country. Monetary policy is developed taking into account the main directions in development of economy of the state.

In “Occupying Chairlifts” a simple rule tweak on inheritance ends up changing the direction and purpose of modern human life! Here’s a fair way to transition forward to where we’re rewarded for cooperating and creating instead of competing and conquering. It's something specific we can demand. If this isnt the best answer, at least we’re thinking about what might be. Are we really just this close to having it work right? Oh yeah, it's a Ski movie! “Occupying Chairlifts” on KZbin!

[@honesthua]

A very effective lesson here! However, I'm curious to know if the Federal Funds Rate (interest rate for inter-bank lending/borrowing of excess funds stored at the Fed) affect the setting of Interest Rates?

[@jeffs-zw2zb]

Econ 101 should be required courses in college. Many adults don't realize that money represents a coupon to you that says, I've contributed to society by providing value in the form of wealth creation, and I can exchange these coupons with other wealth creators for their contributions to society (goods and services). Bernie Sanders' idea of wealth creation is hiring someone to dig a hole and then fill it up again, literally.

[@Ghadooy123]

thank you

[@Mujangga]

How was money created before the Fed?

[@petarvukadinovic8287]

what is the name of the song in the beginning of the video? cheers

Does the Fed also buy bonds directly from the govt as well?

[@JasonWelker]

Anon P Under QE (quantitative easing, implemented following the financial crisis of 2008) the Fed began purchasing bonds directly from the government. This program ended a couple years ago.

[@numberone9642]

Is the discount rate same as the overnight rate? I'm in Canada...

[@vanfrassen9073]

Melinda Hanna Not necessarily. There are three discount rates: prime, secondary and seasonal. Currently 1.5%, 2%, and 1% respectively. These are the rates banks pay if they need to come to the Fed for emergency funds - which no banks use currently. There is also the Fed Funds target rate (range) for when banks borrow from each other overnight. This rate (range) is the one everyone talks about when they say "the Fed is raising rates." This video is outdated as it does not mention the two most important rates that control the fed funds range: Interest in Excess Reserves and the Offering Rate for Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Interest on Excess Reserves Rate is the rate that the Fed pays banks for their reserve balances and functions as a ceiling for the Fed Runds range "pulling" money market rates upward. The Offering Rate on Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreements sets the floor on the Fed Funds range pushing money market rates upward toward the Interest in Excess Reserves Rate. The OMOs described in the video haven't taken place in a few years. The Open Market Operations active today are the Interest paid on Excess Reserves and the Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreements using treasuries.

[@SunSchrody]

Damn, even with this great video I'm confused... I think I'm just too stupid for this. My exam is going to be a disaster.

[@sha370z]

the fed loan over 16 trillion and more

[@onewiselady6412]

THIS was the most outrageous explanation after comprehending the massive difference between “money/dollars” and “CREDIT” …. Its created by us - we are the direct source - we are the true bank and creditor! Shame on all of you pretending to “loan” ANYTHING

[@FarahAbdul]

It looks like everyone is borrowing money or purchasing bonds with interest and interest is forbidden in Islam how do Islamic Banks implement their monetary policy.

[@LT2AD]

and people hatin on justin bieber lol smh

[@sha370z]

NO do your homework the fed Audit was in jul 2011

[@timmetz9922]

This video is boring.. Lets make some buttons

[@bislig2alabama]

BS! The Fed is a private club that collects public wealth and redistributes that wealth and keeps some of that wealth. IMPORTANT! wealth is only created when natural resources are changed into useful, measurable products. The Fed DOES NOT create wealth, a useful product. Thus the Fed. decreases the value of the dollar every year First we had metal gold dollars, value decreased in paper gold IOUs, then the dollar value decreased to the Fed. paper silver note, then the value decreased to the Fed. reserve paper note. Take a dollar and read what it states on the top. FED RESERVE NOTE, not gold, not silver. Forget the BS. check the value of one Oz of gold in 1933 against the value today.
