US Federal Reserve Balance Hit $7 Trillion in May

(1 June 2020) While efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic resulted in skyrocketing unemployment and sharp cuts in output, stimulus measures from the US Federal Reserve to limit the economic damage from the outbreak ballooned the Fed's balance sheet to a record $7.1 trillion in May. The value of the Federal Reserve's assets now exceeds 25 percent of US GDP.

  • In the three month window from March 2020 through May 2020, the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet increased by $2.9 trillion: Mortgage and related securities holdings increased by $0.5 trillion, US treasury holdings by $1.6 trillion, and lending to financial firms and markets by $0.4 trillion. In addition, the Federal Reserve provided $0.4 trillion liquidity to foreign Central Banks to support global markets.
