| - | **Open Market Operations** involves the buying and selling of government securities. The term **Open Market** means that the Fed doesn’t decide on its own which securities dealers it will do business with on a particular day. Rather, the choice emerges from an “open market” in which the various securities dealers the Fed does business with – the primary dealers – compete on the basis of price. **Open Market Operations** are flexible, and thus, the most frequently used tool of monetary policy. | + | **Open Market Operations** involve the buying and selling of government securities.

| - | Figure {{ref>transmissionOfmoney}} illustrates the transmission of monetary policy. In the broadest terms, monetary policy works by spurring or restraining the growth of overall demand for goods and services in the economy. When overall demand slows relative to the economy's capacity to produce goods and services, unemployment tends to rise and inflation tends to decline. The FOMC helps stabilize the economy in the face of these developments through the stimulation of the overall demand using an easing of monetary policy that lowers interest rates. Conversely, when overall demand for goods and services is too strong, unemployment can fall to unsustainably low levels and inflation can rise. In these situations, the Federal Reserve guides economic activity back to more sustainable levels and keeps inflation in check by tightening monetary policy to raise interest rates. This process of the FOMC eases and tightens monetary policy to achieve its goals.(( | + | Figure {{ref>transmissionOfmoney}} illustrates the transmission of monetary policy.

| - | There definitely would need to be a bridge between the existing ACH-NACHA payment network and a U.S. CBDC, its associated Consensus Algorithms, and the network of nodes. However, in addition to the bridge between the two, there probably needs to exist a new consolidated frontend ([[https://www.omgwiki.org/dido/doku.php?id=dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:a:api | Application Programming Interface (API)]]?) that abstracts the type of payment from the participants in the transactions. In other words, the transaction should be agnostic to the non-cash mechanisms such as debit cards, credit cards, electronic transfers, checks, and CBDC. | + | There definitely would need to be a bridge between the existing ACH-NACHA payment network and a U.S. CBDC, its associated Consensus Algorithms, and the network of nodes.
