FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Federal Open Market Committee;
Domestic Policy Directive of March 17
and 18, 2009
In accordance with § 271.25 of its
rules regarding availability of
information (12 CFR part 271), there is
set forth below the domestic policy
directive issued by the Federal Open
Market Committee at its meeting held
on March 17 and 18, 2009.1
The Federal Open Market Committee
seeks monetary and financial conditions
that will foster price stability and
promote sustainable growth in output.
To further its long–run objectives, the
Committee seeks conditions in reserve
markets consistent with federal funds
trading in a range of 0 to 1⁄4 percent. The
Committee directs the Desk to purchase
GSE debt GSE–guaranteed MBS, and
longer–term Treasury securities during
the intermeeting period with the aim of
providing support to private credit
markets and economic activity. The
timing and pace of these purchases
should depend on conditions in the
markets for such securities and on a
broader assessment of private credit
market conditions. The Committee
anticipates that the combination of
outright purchases and various liquidity
facilities outstanding will cause the size
of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet to
expand significantly in coming months.
The Desk is expected to purchase up to
$200 billion in housing–related GSE
debt by the end of this year. The Desk
is expected to purchase at least $500
billion in GSE–guaranteed MBS by the
end of the second quarter of this year
and is expected to purchase up to $1.25
trillion of these securities by the end of
this year. The Committee also directs
the Desk to purchase longer–term

intermeeting period. Over the next six
months, the Desk is expected to
purchase up to $300 billion of longer–

stability.
