Definition
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is the core of its monetary policy implementation and financial stability maintenance. Changes in its size and structure directly reflect policy direction and are linked to key economic indicators. The core of the asset side consists of US Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), accounting for over 90% of total assets. The liability side mainly consists of currency in circulation, depository institution reserves, and total government bonds (TGAs). Reserves are crucial for regulating market liquidity. The linked core economic indicators fall into four categories: price indicators, with the PCE as the core and the CPI as a supplement; employment indicators, with the unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls as the core; liquidity and interest rate indicators, including the Federal Funds Rate, US Treasury yields, and M2; and economic growth indicators, with GDP as the core. The Federal Reserve injects base money through quantitative easing (QE) and withdraws base money through quantitative tightening (QT) to regulate liquidity, forming a closed loop of policy operations and economic indicators. The Reserve Requirement Plan (RMP), restarted at the end of 2025, aims to maintain sufficient reserves and is fundamentally different from QE.
