On February 10, Federal Reserve Governor Milan noted that while the Fed’s balance sheet needs to shrink, policymakers should not be deterred from launching large-scale asset purchases during economic crises. “Even as the balance sheet contracts, the central bank must still retain the ability to deploy quantitative easing (QE) in a crisis,” he said.
