About

To battle the global financial crisis of 2008, central banks across the globe cut interest rates to near zero. More than a decade later, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, interest rates are once again under pressure, but, for many countries, there is little room left to cut rates further.

This course provides a historical overview of quantitative easing, then examines its impact on financial markets and its lead-in to current policy and negative interest rates.
