Fed Pays US Treasury $86.9 Billion, Largest Sum in 4 Years

 

Story from LAST year…. Not seeing any stories this year about the same thing… hmmmmm… 🤔


The Fed said that its earnings were up $33.1 billion last year, a gain that reflected falling interest rates which meant the central bank paid commercial banks less in interest payments on bank reserves that the Fed requires them to keep.


Gee I wonder how much the Fed will have to pay commercial banks and the others this year under  an increasing rate policy? 🤔…   that monetarist Bullard guy there wants them to be paying 3% by year end…  hope they can afford it…

"The Federal Reserve Board on Friday announced preliminary financial information indicating that the Reserve Banks had estimated net income of $107.8 billion during 2021, of which $107.4 billion was remitted to the U.S. Treasury as required under the Federal Reserve Act."

They needed 400million a year to run the fed... What the hell are they doing with that big of a budget

Yes, it does seem like an enormous budget. I mean, the entire judicial branch (courts) is $2 bln. That's half the Fed.
