E9–12478 Filed 5–28–09; 8:45 am] FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM VerDate Nov<24>2008 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 Treasury securities during the intermeeting period. Over the next six months, the Desk is expected to purchase up to $300 billion of longer– term Treasury securities. The System Open Market Account Manager and the Secretary will keep the Committee informed of ongoing developments regarding the System’s balance sheet that could affect the attainment over time of the Committee’s objectives of maximum employment and price stability.
