Does QE assist liquidity?
Does increased liquidity allow Banks to lend or at least not reduce borrowing?
If there is increased money available to lend more easily will this not depress interest rates?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Actually one type of debt was replaced using another asset class to improve liquidity
I guess you are one of those who has been studying economics for years, and has lost the ability to recognise a completely meaningless statement!
As I posted on another thread, accountancy skills have a lot in common with circus skills - they look and sound really impressive, but they're very often just a load of balls.

Yes, that's the point of QE.0 -

Yes the plan for QE was to increase liquidity and to allow banks to lend more at lower rates hence why interest rates went down to 0.5%.grizzly1911 wrote: »Does QE assist liquidity?

Has it worked? That's a completely different discussion.0 -

Well if we say it hasn't worked no doubt someone else will pop up and say it would have been worse if they hadn't.
So allowing banks to lend more (new or not calling in existing debt) and depressed interest rates hasn't helped support property linked lending?
I don't dispute that wasn't it's sole function but it will have had a sizeable impact."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....
