Impact of quantitative easing on the U.S. economy

Abstract

The US economy is facing instability due to high inflation and high credit card debt. Central banks have adopted quantitative easing (QE) as a monetary policy tool to promote economic growth and reduce the risk of deflation. QE measures originated from the 2008 global financial crisis to counter the threat of recession and deflation. This paper examines the impact of quantitative easing on the U.S. economy in four stages through data, image analysis and collection of related literature. Quantitative easing is a high-risk monetary policy. However, while quantitative easing stimulates the economy by lowering interest rates, it can also lead to inflation and borrowing pressures. This paper applies a combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, has been about the theory of monetary policy on the basis of the process of successive QE is summarized, and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes in the past two years to review. Finally, this paper analyzes the impact of QE, an unconventional monetary policy on the economy, and analyzes the future forecast. The research in this paper can be a certain reference for the monetary policy to cope with the crisis and unconventional situations.
