Monetary policy.
(QE).
Quantitative easing is a form of monetary policy used to stimulate an economy where interest rates are either at, or close to, zero.
It involves a central bank buying financial assets, and its effect is to increase the money supply.
The financial assets bought are usually central government debt.
