The FED's Crisis Plan: Make Banks Hold More Money

9/9/2016

On Thursday (9/8) the Federal Reserve released their plan for a financial crisis. They will institute a "countercyclical-capital-buffer"; simply put, they plan to increase reserve requirements.

Increased reserves are likely to reduce the number of bank insolvencies, but they also reduce the amount of money banks can lend. This policy decision could hurt consumers/business owners who have become reliant on debt to function.
​
The United States is more reliant on debt than at any point in history.
