Is it an open market operation when the federal reserve buys or sells government securities?


Rate This Answer

The SOMA manager is responsible for trades that result in a short term interest rate near the target rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), or create money by the outright purchase of securities. Very rarely will it permanently destroy money by the outright sale of securities. ChaCha!
