MONETARY POLICY IN THE INTERESTS OF US GLOBAL ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP

Abstract

This article discusses the significant evolution of the United States' monetary and credit policy, particularly the Federal Reserve System’s role in managing economic stability and growth. It examines the key policy shifts from the early 2000s, including the responses to inflation and the 2008–2009 financial crisis, and highlights the importance of tools such as quantitative easing (QE) and the Volcker Rule. The article explores how these changes contributed to shaping the country's financial landscape, influencing both crisis management and long-term economic strategies. Moreover, the article touches on the ongoing impact of monetary policy under different administrations, with a focus on the Fed's evolving role, interest rate policies, and regulatory actions, particularly in response to global financial challenges and political pressures. The relationship between fiscal and monetary policies, as well as the Fed's adaptation to economic conditions, is central to the narrative.
