FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Federal Open Market Committee; 

Domestic Policy Directive of January 

26 and 27, 2010 

In accordance with § 271.25 of its 

rules regarding availability of 

information (12 CFR part 271), there is 

set forth below the domestic policy 

directive issued by the Federal Open 

Market Committee at its meeting held 

on January 26 and 27, 2010.1

The Federal Open Market Committee 

seeks monetary and financial conditions 

that will foster price stability and 

promote sustainable growth in output. 

To further its long–run objectives, the 

Committee seeks conditions in reserve 

markets consistent with federal funds 

trading in a range from 0 to 1⁄4 percent. 

The Committee directs the Desk to 

purchase agency debt and agency MBS 

during the intermeeting period with the 

aim of providing support to private 

credit markets and economic activity. 

The timing and pace of these purchases 

should depend on conditions in the 

markets for such securities and on a 

broader assessment of private credit 

market conditions. The Desk is expected 

to execute purchases of about $175 

billion in housing–related agency debt 

and about $1.25 trillion of agency MBS 

by the end of the first quarter. The Desk 

is expected to gradually slow the pace 

of these purchases as they near 

completion. The Committee anticipates 

that outright purchases of securities will 

cause the size of the Federal Reserve’s 

balance sheet to expand significantly in 

coming months. The Committee directs 

the Desk to engage in dollar roll 

transactions as necessary to facilitate 

settlement of the Federal Reserve’s 

agency MBS transactions to be 

conducted through the end of the first 

quarter, as directed above. The System 

Open Market Account Manager and the 

Secretary will keep the Committee 

informed of ongoing developments 

regarding the System’s balance sheet 

that could affect the attainment over 

time of the Committee’s objectives of 

maximum employment and price 

stability. 

By order of the Federal Open Market 

Committee, February 23, 2010. 

Brian F. Madigan, 

Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.
