Avant la crise financière de 2008‑2009, la Fed mettait en application sa politique de taux d'intérêt par l'entremise du marché des fonds fédéraux, soit le système de financement interbancaire. Les banques avaient recours au marché des fonds fédéraux pour subvenir à tout besoin journalier de liquidité. À l'inverse, lorsqu'elles se trouvaient en position de surplus de liquidité, elles se servaient du marché des fonds fédéraux pour offrir ces montants. 1, record 1, French, - march%C3%A9%20des%20fonds%20f%C3%A9d%C3%A9raux

En los años previos a la crisis, la Fed establecía el tipo de interés deseado ajustando el volumen de reservas que los bancos mantenían en la Fed mediante la adquisición o venta de activos en el mercado secundario. […] Este mecanismo era eficaz en los tiempos en los que la cantidad de reservas que mantenían los bancos en la Fed era relativamente pequeña, de modo que ligeros ajustes por parte de la Fed afectaban al equilibrio entre oferta y demanda en el mercado de fondos federales a muy corto plazo(donde las instituciones financieras se prestan reservas) e influenciaban el tipo de interés(el "effective federal funds rate", EFFR) hasta su objetivo. 1, record 1, Spanish, - mercado%20de%20fondos%20federales
