As part of these bank - reserve writings I addressed the reasoning behind the Fed's decision to start paying interest on reserves, reaching the conclusion that the decision had been taken to enable the Fed Funds Rate (FFR) to be hiked in the future without contracting the supplies of reserves and money.

The purpose of this post is to point out that while the payment of interest on bank reserves is now the Fed's primary tool for implementing rate hikes, there are two other tools that the Fed will use over the years ahead in its efforts to manipulate short - term US interest rates and distort the economy.

Instead, when the Fed makes its first rate hike — something that probably won't happen until at least September - 2015 — it will do so by 1) raising the interest rate paid on bank reserves, 2) increasing the amount that it pays to borrow money via Reverse Repurchase agreements, and 3) boosting the rate that it offers to financial institutions for term deposits.
