Quantitative easing意思

Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy tool used by central banks to stimulate the economy by increasing the money supply. It involves the central bank purchasing financial assets, such as government bonds, from commercial banks and other financial institutions. This increases the reserves of the commercial banks, which can then potentially lend more money to businesses and consumers. The goal of quantitative easing is to increase economic growth, lower unemployment, and raise inflation when standard monetary policy tools, such as adjusting interest rates, are ineffective.
