“Breakfast Series: Economic Outlook from Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago” by the OSU Center of Real Estate

Webinar: 12/2020

  • The Fed cutting rates doesn’t lead to more employment and inflation like it used to
  • 2008 and 2020 the Fed cut short-term rates to zero
  • When short-term rate are zero, Fed can buy assets like Treasuries and mortgage securities to make longer-term rates lower
  • Comparison to Great Recession: stronger economy (job growth), stronger household balance sheets (low debt service burdens), stronger housing positions (appreciation), stronger mortgage markets (less subprime and more GSE market share), different economic disruption.
  • Policy response = provide liquidity to borrowers
  • As expected, forbearance programs has directly led to lower delinquencies
  • Fed programs are working but are not meant to last forever
