 Hi, my name is Matt Rosano. I'm a recent law school graduate and I write about financial regulatory and consumer protection issues. At this year's Central Bank of the Future Conference, I've decided to do something a little bit different and write a policy proposal. So historically, the Federal Reserve's open market operations are conducted in a neutral fashion. This means buying and selling Treasury securities to adjust the money supply without a particular target or aim in mind. Since the onset of COVID-19, however, the Fed has needed to adjust and take a more interventionist approach in the economy. The result of this has been the corporate bond buying program as well as a municipal bond buying scheme. These efforts beg the question if the Fed's willing to intervene to support large corporations, major cities, and states, is there something more that the Federal Reserve can be doing to help out local communities? The focus of my policy proposal is a municipal bond buying program aimed specifically at community development projects. Now this would include housing efforts, green investment, commercial development projects, as well as education infrastructure. It would also extend beyond the timeline of the crisis economy and continue in an ongoing way. Now this sort of program isn't entirely new. The Bank of England, for example, recently came out with an idea for a sort of green quantitative easing or an environmental bond buying program. The problem with these sorts of efforts, however, is that they potentially politicize central banks. I'm going to talk about some of these issues at the conference, but I'm also going to argue that the result could be a more inclusive and equal economy. I hope that you enjoyed the policy proposal and I'm looking forward to discussing these ideas further. Thanks.
