Quantitative Easing or QE for short, is an economic monetary policy whereby a central bank buys long-term securities from the open market aiming to increase the money supply and stimulate lending and investments. By buying these types of securities the central bank of the country injects new money into the country’s economy. Bidding up such fixed-income securities also aims in pushing down interest rates.
