FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Federal Open Market Committee; 

Domestic Policy Directive of 

September 16–17, 2014 

In accordance with Section 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 September 16–17, 2014.1

Consistent with its statutory mandate, 

the Federal Open Market Committee 

seeks monetary and financial conditions 

that will foster maximum employment 

and price stability. In particular, 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 

undertake open market operations as 

necessary to maintain such conditions. 

Beginning in October, the Desk is 

directed to purchase longer-term 

Treasury securities at a pace of about 

$10 billion per month and to purchase 

agency mortgage-backed securities at a 

pace of about $5 billion per month. The 

Committee also directs the Desk to 

engage in dollar roll and coupon swap 

transactions as necessary to facilitate 

settlement of the Federal Reserve’s 

agency mortgage-backed securities 

transactions. The Committee directs the 

Desk to maintain its policy of rolling 

over maturing Treasury securities into 

new issues and its policy of reinvesting 

principal payments on all agency debt 

and agency mortgage-backed securities 

in agency mortgage-backed securities. 

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, October 9, 2014. 

William B. English, 

Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee.
