FEDS Paper: Beyond Reserves: The Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet and the Repo Market

FRB All working papers | Score: 0.92 | neutral | Published: 13:25 Jun 22, 2026 (Eastern)

This Federal Reserve Finance and Economics Discussion Series (FEDS) working paper, authored by Sriya Anbil, Alyssa Anderson, Ethan Cohen, and Romina Ruprecht, argues that repo market capacity—rather than bank reserve demand—is the binding constraint on the size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. Using a structural model calibrated to the recent monetary tightening cycle, the authors find that repo market capacity is driven primarily by money market fund liquidity supply. The paper contrasts this finding with the September 2019 repo market stress episode, which had focused attention on reserve demand as the key constraint. The authors also identify a complementarity between interest rate policy and balance sheet policy: higher policy rates expand repo market capacity, which in turn allows the central bank to maintain a smaller balance sheet. Key topics include monetary policy implementation, quantitative tightening, reserves, the overnight reverse repo facility, and shadow banks. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not represent official positions of the Federal Reserve Board or its staff.

Keywords: Federal Reserve balance sheet, Repo market, Money market funds, Liquidity supply, Monetary policy, Bank reserves, Financial system constraints, Interest rate policy, Maturity transformation, Financial stability

The New York Fed DSGE Model Forecast—June 2026

FRBNY Liberty Street | Score: 0.75 | neutral | Published: 09:00 Jun 22, 2026 (Eastern)

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has published its June 2026 update to its dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model forecast. The update, which is an input to the Research staff's forecasting process rather than an official New York Fed forecast, incorporates data through 2026:Q1 and Philadelphia Fed Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) median forecasts for 2026:Q2. The most notable revision is to inflation: the SPF projected core inflation in 2026:Q2 to be more than 1 percentage point higher (annualized) than the DSGE model had predicted in March, prompting the model to revise its 2026 inflation forecast upward from 2.4 to 3.1 percent. The model attributes this forecast miss to mark-up shocks, which it interprets as potentially reflecting tariff and energy price effects. Because these shocks are viewed as temporary, inflation projections for subsequent years are largely unchanged. On output, the model's outlook is slightly more optimistic than in March but remains somewhat pessimistic overall. Positive marginal efficiency of investment (MEI) shocks—associated with AI-related investment activity—are expected to boost output in 2026, while adverse mark-up shocks are projected to weigh on future growth. The model's estimates of the short-run real natural rate of interest (r*) increased by 0.1 percentage point relative to March, now projected at 2.0, 1.7, and 1.3 percent for 2026, 2027, and 2028 respectively, partly attributed to higher total factor productivity.

Keywords: Federal Reserve Bank of New York, DSGE model, economic forecasts, inflation projections, natural rate of interest, monetary policy, financial conditions, macroeconomic outlook

Waller, Welcoming Remarks on the International Role of the U.S. Dollar

FRB All Speeches | Score: 0.75 | neutral | Published: 09:00 Jun 22, 2026 (Eastern)

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller delivered welcoming remarks on June 22, 2026, at the Fifth Conference on the International Roles of the Dollar, hosted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, D.C. Waller noted that while traditional factors underpinning the dollar's global role—including the size and depth of U.S. financial markets and trust in U.S. institutions—remain important, the environment around them is changing rapidly due to technological innovation. He highlighted how distributed ledger technologies and tokenized assets, particularly stablecoins, are creating new channels for global dollar intermediation alongside traditional banking and payment systems. Waller expressed a generally favorable view of increased competition from these innovations, stating that more competition typically leads to better outcomes for consumers and society. He outlined the key research themes for the two-day conference, which include the transformation of payment systems and foreign exchange markets through stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure; spillover effects of stablecoin adoption on exchange rates, dollar funding conditions, and cross-border capital flows; the relationship between dollar-backed stablecoins and U.S. Treasury markets; and broader questions about whether stablecoins reinforce or introduce new tensions into the international monetary system. The remarks represent Waller's personal views and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Open Market Committee.

IFDP Paper: Fiscal Policy, Portfolio Frictions, and International Transmission

FRB All working papers | Score: 0.72 | neutral | Published: 10:51 Jun 22, 2026 (Eastern)

This Federal Reserve International Finance Discussion Paper (IFDP 1439, June 2026) examines how fiscal policy transmits internationally, focusing on its effects on the real exchange rate (RER) and net exports. The author documents an empirical association between high government debt and a depreciated RER, followed by increases in net exports. The paper presents causal evidence that debt-financed fiscal expansions transmit primarily through deviations from uncovered interest parity, resulting in RER depreciation and rising net exports over time. To explain these patterns, the author develops a model in which portfolio rebalancing frictions drive the international transmission of fiscal policy, and shows that this mechanism produces dynamics consistent with the so-called RER disconnect. The paper covers the topics of international business cycles, fiscal policy, exchange rates, and the trade balance. The views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the Federal Reserve Board or its staff.

Keywords: fiscal policy transmission, portfolio rebalancing, uncovered interest parity, real exchange rates, government debt, international capital flows, asset pricing frictions, net exports, Federal Reserve research
