FED: MNI POLICY: Fed Balance Sheet at Record $6.66T, Growth Slows
- The Federal Reserve's balance sheet reached another record of USD6.66 trillion
as of April 29, while growth slowed compared with recent weeks. The weekly
snapshot released Thursday shows the Fed's portfolio increased USD82.8 billion.
The balance sheet is now almost one-third the size of the U.S. economy and set
to grow larger as the Fed sets up emergency facilities and GDP shrinks.
