Fed and the Money Supply

The Fed isn't expected to significantly tighten money supply until later this year, even as growth here has picked up and prices are pushing higher.

在今年晚些时候之前，美联储预计不会大幅收紧货币供应，而亚洲的经济增长已开始提速，物价水平也在不断走高。

At that point, no one worried any more about budget deficits, and the Fed pegged interest rates to ensure that they stayed low, increasing the money supply as necessary to achieve this goal.

在那点上，没有人再担心财政赤字，联邦储备局通过增加货币供应量而将利率维持在一个较低的水平。

This means printing of money (the Fed prints the money and then "lends" it to the Treasury) of $500 billion to $1 trillion addition to the money supply, each year for the next several years.

这意味着未来数年，为了增加货币供应，每年都要多印5000——10000亿美元（美联储印钱，然后“借给”财政部）。
