FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Federal Open Market Committee; 

Domestic Policy Directive of August 11 

and 12, 2009 

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 August 11 and 12, 2009.1

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 of 0 to 1⁄4 percent. The 

Committee directs the Desk to purchase 

agency debt, agency MBS, and longer– 

term Treasury securities 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 purchase up to $200 billion in 

housing–related agency debt and up to 

$1.25 trillion of agency MBS by the end 

of the year. The Desk is expected to 

purchase about $300 billion of longer– 

term Treasury securities by the end of 

October, gradually slowing the pace of 

these purchases until they are 

completed. The Committee anticipates 

that outright purchaes of securities will 

cause the size of the Federal Reserve’s 

balance sheet to expand significanly in 

coming months. 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, September 8, 2009. 

Brian F. Madigan, 

Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.
