Monetary and Fiscal Policies Discussion
After reading the assigned chapters and web resources, complete your discussion post.
On the Federal Reserve website (Federal Open Market Committee Minutes) find the minutes (not the press release) of the most recent FOMC meeting.
In your post, summarize the factors that led to the decision regarding the federal funds rate at that meeting. Based on the factors that you have identified from the minutes, do you agree or disagree with the Federal Reserve’s decision? Why or why not?
As a manager of a company, why should you care about Fed policy on the interest rate? How does Fed policy affect our economy? How is it different from fiscal policy?
