U. S. Banking HistoryFederal Reserve System (Fed)- Activities
Fed influences money supply in three ways:1. Setting Reserve Requirements – as the Fed adjusts the portion
of deposits that banks must hold, the amount that may be lent out will increase or decrease.
2. Changing the Discount Rate – An increase in this rate will usually increase the cost for mortgages and other loans
3. Buying and Selling Government Securities – “open market operations” – The sale of government bonds to banks results in fewer funds available for lending which reduces the money supply
