Since its establishment in 1913, the Federal Reserve has an important role in the economy.Most recently the role of the Fed, as a lender of last resort, was crucial for dealing with the breakdown of the U.S. monetary and credit system during the Financial Crisis in 2007/08.After cutting interest rates close to zero, they implemented further special programs to fill the market with sufficient liquidity and to improve and strengthen the financial market's conditions and creditworthiness.
