Abstract
The Monetary policy of the United States has not been the same since the 2008-2009 international crisis. Following the crisis, given that the federal funds interest rate - the conventional monetary policy instrument - fell to almost zero, the Federal Reserve (FED) had to resort to two unconventional instruments: Firstly, an announcement on the future trajectory of the short-term interest rate. Secondly, direct intervention in the long-term bond market.
