The Federal Reserve Board sets and controls Government Monetary Policy. Monetary Policy consists of credit regulation devices including:
•Federal reserve discount
•Reserve requirement
•Federal open market committee
Fiscal policy affects the availability of money and interest rates. Increased government debt increases inflation, which in turn increases interest rates. The opposite is also true.
