Quantitative Easing and Inflation Impacts: Understanding Monetary Expansion Strategies Training Course

Introduction

Quantitative easing (QE) has emerged as a vital tool for central banks in periods of low interest rates, economic stagnation, or financial crises. By expanding the central bank’s balance sheet through asset purchases, QE influences liquidity, credit availability, and ultimately inflation expectations. Understanding the mechanisms, effects, and limitations of QE is critical for policymakers, financial analysts, and economists who aim to assess its implications for price stability and economic growth.

The Quantitative Easing and Inflation Impacts: Understanding Monetary Expansion Strategies Training Course equips participants with a comprehensive understanding of QE operations, transmission channels, and macroeconomic effects. Through case studies, empirical analysis, and practical exercises, participants will learn to evaluate the impact of QE on inflation, assess its effectiveness across different economic contexts, and integrate insights into policy design and economic forecasting.
