For many years prior to the global financial crisis, the Federal Open Market Committee set a target for the federal funds rate and achieved that target through small purchases and sales of securities in the open market. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, with a superabundant level of reserve balances in the banking system having been created as a result of the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase programs, this approach to implementing monetary policy will no longer work. This paper provides a primer on the Fed's implementation of monetary policy. We use the standard textbook model to illustrate why the approach used by the Federal Reserve before the financial crisis to keep the federal funds rate near the Federal Open Market Committee's target will not work in current circumstances, and explain the approach that the Committee intends to use instead when it decides to begin raising short-term interest rates.

Ratings are based on percent positive scores of the survey items that make up each index. The ratings provide a reliable assessment of where agencies rank on the Employee Engagement Index, Global Satisfaction Index, and Performance Confidence Index. A review of results on the various items that comprise each index provides agencies with a richer understanding of aspects of the workplace (e.g., management practices) that employees perceive as effective versus those which should be developed and improved. Subindex scores are calculated by averaging the unrounded percent positive of each of the items in the subindex. To view index ratings, select from the options below.

The performance of the S&P 500 following Federal Funds rate hikes generally shows that ********************** after a hike is when the impact is most pronounced, often resulting in lower or even negative returns. This initial reaction likely reflects investor uncertainty and market adjustment to the new borrowing costs. However, as time progresses, returns tend to stabilize, with the 12-month period typically showing recovery and improvement. Notably, the rate hike on March 17, 2022, stands out as an exception, as it resulted in negative returns across all observed periods (three months, six months, and 12 months), underscoring the unique market conditions and investor sentiment at that time.
