Global QE without the Fed

The video tutorial explains the concept of quantitative easing (QE) without expanding the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. It uses the European Central Bank (ECB) as an example, discussing a hypothetical scenario where the ECB buys Greek bonds by creating euros. The Swiss National Bank's actions in pegging the Swiss franc to the euro are highlighted, showing how QE can occur on its balance sheet instead. The tutorial concludes with the global implications of these actions and the Federal Reserve's Operation Twist, where the Fed buys treasury bonds and sells bills, affecting other central banks' balance sheets.
