Quantitative Easing
A critical review of quantitative easing and its impact on the UK economy
Research proposal -
“A critical review of Quantitative easing and its impact on the UK’s economy”
Research background (Theory, concepts, Key issues, problems and researchable questions) -
Theory- During the recession flow of the money in the market is very less, hence central bank lend the money to the borrowers at low interest rates, but there is limitation they cannot go beyond zero percentage, hence central bank do “Quantitative Easing” that is printing of money and boost the money into market by purchasing the assets and buying the gilts or government debts.
Concepts- the main concept behind the Quantitative easing is to boost the money into the market and keeping maximum inflation rate targeted 2 pc by BOE with relative growth in GDP and stop quantitative easing when inflation reaches the maximum limit and withdraws the money from the market by selling the assets and gilts.
Key issues and problems-
The main issue is UK Economy is not recovering even after boosting 200 billion pounds with the interest rate 0.5%, inflation also noticed about 3.1% and GDP under contraction of -5.2% in year July 2009.the question is whether monetary policy of BOE is correct?
The problem is government is planning to put more 25 billion to 50 billion in 2010 and inflation rate increases if printing more money and pound loses its value against dollars and Euros . When the QE will end? Will the bank losses if QE stops?
Research objectives-
In this secondary research report I am going to find out why UK economic is not recovering, what are the factors hold the growth, what are the government next steps in QE or any other alternative solution to QE, how much time it will take to recover and when it will end. This will give me depth knowledge about QE and future planning of BOE on UK economy.
I will use conclusive descriptive research method to ensure my research objectives.
