A Morning at the New York Fed
The manager of the Fed’s System Open Market Account (SOMA) interprets and executes the policy directives of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
公开市场账户:联储账户,用于为了配合货币政策指令所要求的公开市场业务,在交易室买卖该账户中美元国债。government securities are bought and sold from the
SOMA to affect intermediate monetary targetsthe buy or sell orders are issued to securities traders
who work for the New York Fed

A Morning at the New York Fed
The Fed traders call primary dealers23 large banks and securities dealers with whom the
Fed deals directly
一级交易商:联储在公开市场上直接打交道的大银行和证券经销商。
The traders then meet to announce their buy or sell offer prices
The manager tells the traders to discharge the most profitable transactions up to the amounts that the Fed wishes to buy or sell

A Morning at the New York Fed
As the deals are consummated, reserves are either supplied or withdrawn from the banking system
The manager of SOMA then examines the effects of these changes on intermediate targets and decides if additional purchases or sales are needed

The FOMC Policy Directive
Once the long-term policy stance is set, the focus of the FOMC shifts to the immediate periodindicators of underlying economic and financial
conditions are examinedthe FOMC then devises short-term strategies
that are consistent with its longer-range projections
8
The FOMC Policy Directive
The FOMC issues a policy directive that guides the conduct of open market operations until the next FOMC meeting
政策指令:联邦公开市场委员会对纽约储备银行的交易室发布关于如何执行公开市场政策的操作指令,该指令到下一次联邦公开市场委员会举行会议之前一直有效。近年来,政策指令目标是联邦基金利率。the link between the decisions formulating
policy and the actions implementing policy
9
The FOMC Policy Directive
The policy directive is released along with a statement that communicates the Fed’s evaluation of the risks associated with regards to sustainable economic growth and price stability
Beginning in 1994, these policy directives are announced immediately following the FOMC meetingseliminates questions and doubts
10
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
To implement the policy directive, the Trading Desk of the New York Fed tries to manage reserve levels in the banking system so that the federal funds rate is equal to the targeted rateto do this the Trading Desk develops estimates
of the supply and demand for total reserves
11
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
The demand for reserves consists ofthe demand for required reservesthe demand for excess reserves
The supply of reserves consists ofborrowed reserves
borrowed from the Fed’s discount facility
non-borrowed reservesavailable in the open market

The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
In recent years, the Fed has implemented policy by focusing its open market operations with an eye toward achieving the targeted federal funds rate
To follow the directive, the Trading Desk determines the reserve need
准备金需求:为保持政策指令要求的联邦基金利率而必须的准备金目标适量,通过公开市场操作来实现。the difference between actual reserves and those
projected to be needed to keep the federal funds rate at the desired level
14
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
Each day, the Fed updates its estimates of the supply of reserves and new information on the other factors affecting reservesusing this information, the manager revises his
estimates of the reserve need
15
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
In recent years, required reserves have declined substantially and are continuing to declinethis is due to the widespread growth of retail sweep
accounts零售自动转存账户: 1994 年建立的零售账户,余额不进
入具有准备金要求的存款账户而进入那些没有准备金要求的储蓄账户。 “sweep” balances out of transactions accounts that are subject
to reserve requirements and into other deposit accounts that are not
first appeared in 1994
16
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
The significant decline in required reserves in recent years due to sweep accounts has raised concern that the fed funds rate may become more volatilemay affect the implementation of monetary
policy
17
The Reserves Market and Open Market Operations
In recent years, Congress has considered authorizing the Fed to pay interest on reservesthe Fed has advocated that this would make the
banking system more efficientthe incentive to use sweep accounts would be
minimized
18
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
Banks are required to hold reserve assets for a two-week maintenance period
维持期:在该期间,银行被要求至少持有法定准备金数量的准备金。the actual amount of required reserve assets that
must be held is determined during the computation period
计算期:在该期间,要求银行计算维持其内所需准备金数量。
the average daily amount of required reserve assets that must be held is equal to the required reserve ratio times the average daily amount of deposits subject to reserve requirements

How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
Currently, only checkable deposits are subject to reserve requirements0% on transaction deposits up to $6.6 million3% on transaction deposits between $6.6
million and $45.4 million10% on transaction deposits over $45.4
million
20
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
Between 1984 and the end of July 1998, contemporaneous reserve accounting was used
无时差准备金记账法(同期准备金记账法):维持期必须与计算器基本保持一致的记账制度。the computation period begins two days
before the maintenance period beginswhen one computation period ends, another
immediately begins
21
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
Beginning in July 1998, the system was changed to lagged reserve accounting
滞后准备金记账法 : 指维持期在计算期结束后才开始的准备金记账制度。the maintenance period begins 30 days after the
beginning of the computation periodwhen one computation period ends, another
immediately beginsthe change makes it easier for depository institutions
to calculate their required reserve balances for the current maintenance period
22
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
In addition, with lagged reserve accounting, the Trading Desk at the New York Fed can obtain more accurate information about required reserveshelpful in determining the overall demand for
reserves by the banking system

总准备金需求 = 法定准备金 + 超额准备金 总准备金供给 = 存款货币银行在央行的存款
+ 库存现金
24
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
The supply of reserves can be determined by rearranging the Fed’s balance sheet
25
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
The major assets of the Fed includeGovernment securities held (GS)Gold and special drawing rights (SDRs)
accounts, which reflect international reserve holdings (IR)
Discount loans (L)Float (F)Other assets (OA)
26
How the Demand and Supply of Reserves Are Calculated
The major liabilities of the Fed includeReserve balances of depository institutions
with the Fed (DF)Currency outside the Fed (C*)Treasury deposits (TD)Other liabilities (OL)
27
Trading Desk Market Techniques
Each day, the Fed must decide whether to buy or sell securities outright or on a temporary basisif bought or sold on a temporary basis, the
transaction is generally reversed within 2 weeks
28
Outright Transactionsin the Market
In general, the Fed uses outright transactions when it wants to provide or absorb reserves over relatively long time spans
直接交易:在公开市场上买卖证券以增加或减少准备金供给。typically used when projections show that a reserve
need or reserve excess is likely to persistmost are conducted to meet seasonal and long-term
needs of the economy
29
Outright Transactionsin the Market
The Trading Desk makes more outright purchases than outright sales due to the growing demand for moneyoutright purchases still account for no more
than 10% of total Fed transactionshowever, the Fed’s portfolio of securities
consists mainly of those bought outright

31
Temporary Transactions
The Trading desk uses temporary transactions when it wants to supply or absorb reserves for relatively short periodsthe need to conduct these transactions arises
from swings in the various factors that affect the supply of reserves
these transactions are cheaper than outright transactions
32
Temporary Transactions
Two types of transactions are usedrepurchase agreementsreverse repurchase agreements
33
Temporary Transactions
When arranging repurchase agreements, the Trading Desk buys securities on a self-reversing, temporary basisthe seller agrees to buy the securities back
from the Trading Desk on or before a specified date
34
Temporary Transactions
Since repurchase agreements provide reserves, they can be used to offset a temporary reserve draina repurchase agreement used to supply
reserves on a temporary basis is called a system repurchase agreement
系统回购协议 : 联储交易室暂时自反向买入证券,这种操作的目的是暂时增加准备金供给。
the purchased securities go into the Fed’s system account
35
Temporary Transactions
Reverse repurchasing agreements are arranged by the Trading Desk when the manager wants to drain reserves temporarily from the banking system
反向回购协议:联储卖出证券,成交的同时就约定在不久之后的某一天将证券购回,这种操作的目的是暂时减少准备金供给。the manager sells securities and
simultaneously purchases the same securities for delivery in the near future
