What is quantitative tightening?

0 views

Quantitative tightening is a strategy used by central banks to deliberately reduce liquidity in the financial system. It is carried out by selling government securities, which decreases banks’ excess reserves and reduces the overall money supply.

This can help fight inflation by increasing interest rates, affect asset prices by potentially triggering corrections in stock and real estate markets, influence exchange rates by strengthening the domestic currency, and allow the central bank to reduce the size of its balance sheet.
