Quantitative easing will lead to the following changes in the
economy:
- Increased money supply in the economy after quantitative easing
will reduce the interest rates to near zero or zero.
- At this low rates, the marginal efficiency of capital will be
very high. And the businesses will be free to expand their
functions.
- This will increase the investment process in the economy. Due
to increase investment, the business firms will start hiring more
and more people.
- Increased employment will increase the income in the hand of
the people and they will demand more product.
- This increased demand will pull the economy out of the
recession. And once the demand for goods stabilizes the demand for
the assets price will also increase.
Or we can have a more direct approach:
- Due to low-interest rates, people will borrow more and spend
more. This will increase the aggregate demand in the economy. The
prices will rise because people will demand more and firm producing
more to meet the demand will employ more reducing unemployment.
After the demand for other things stabilizes the assets price will
also increase.
