Quantitative easing was a key factor for the economic recovery during the 2008 Great Recession and has been used even more abundantly since the start of the pandemic. The main goal of the
bond-buying program is to increase money supply, generate liquidity in the markets, and expedite economic recovery. Consequently, the graph shows stark, steep increases in the assets of each of
the three banks in March 2020 as they were striving to promptly battle lockdown’s adverse effects. Though quantitative easing is usually thought of as a bond-buying program, during the last
decade Bank of Japan has additionally, incessantly been purchasing stocks, particularly ETFs (up to 80% total ownership), and has become the largest, and fastest-growing buyer in the country. By
the end of 2020, Bank of Japan was already buying half of government bonds and the companies where it had the largest positions significantly outperformed the markets. Such an interest from
the BoJ has created distortions in the market and hiked up security prices. Though the BOJ is planning to cut back on such purchases, it also ought to tread carefully not to dissipate negative
signals in the market. The BoJ is hoping to stimulate stock buying so that they increase spending and help companies raise capital. Though the ECB and Fed have not yet started buying equity
market securities, both have significant positions in bonds: Fed is conducting its fourth quantitative easing operation since 2008 and buys $120 trillion worth of bonds monthly; ECB purchases 40
trillion EUR monthly. Such a QE position decreases interest rates and makes safest investment options such as treasuries less appealing to investors. Therefore a larger portion is shifted to buying
stocks and such an increased concentration positively affects stock prices. Though an increase in economic activity and liquidity is often seen as a positive, the main question is what will happen
once the central banks terminate the massive purchases.
