Answer:

b) The Fed wanted to limit the interest rate risk inherent among financial institutions.

Explanation:

Financial crisis occurs when values of financial institution or assets drop rapidly, which often coincides with stock market crashes, investor asset withdrawal and banking panics. There is always a recession after financial crisis because of the drop in asset value.

The 2007-2008 financial crisis was caused by the deregulation of the financial sector that permits banks to engage in hedge fund trading with derivatives. To solve the financial crisis, the Fed deployed a variety of strategies and tactics to coax rates downward to stimulate the economy, some of the strategies employed by the Fed were:

i)  Interest rate cuts

ii) Targeted assistance to ailing financial institutions

iii) Quantitative easing (or Large-Scale Asset Purchases)

iv) Forward guidance about interest rates

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to the question would be C
