QUANTITATIVE EASING

Quantitative easing is a monetary policy tool in which a central bank -- like the Federal Reserve -- floods the market with cash in an attempt to stimulate an economy in recession and to stave off deflation. It effectively means that the central bank prints new money in order to increase the supply. The most notable case was when the Bank of Japan use quantitative easing to fight domestic deflation in the early 2000s.
