Recenzje

'The relationship between Treasury debt management and Fed operations was thrust into the spotlight by the Global Financial crisis a decade ago, and remains there today due to the response to the coronavirus pandemic. However, that relationship has a long history. The Fed may enjoy a degree of independence at the policy level, but there is a natural interdependence between the Fed and Treasury at the operational level. Drawing on his unrivalled knowledge of the two institutions, Kenneth Garbade traces the history of that interdependence over a 30-year period in which the modern foundations of debt management and open market operations took shape.' Lou Crandall, Chief Economist, Wrightson ICAP
