Will central banks need to inject massive amounts of cash?
*Reuters, by Burton Frierson, September 29, 2008:
"The world's central banks redoubled their efforts on Monday to
revive the paralyzed global financial system through massive injections
of cash.
To counteract a world financial crisis emanating from last year's
mortgage meltdown in the United States, the Federal Reserve announced a
$330 billion expansion of arrangements to boost U.S. dollar liquidity
throughout the global financial system.
The action increases the reciprocal swap lines with the European
Central Bank and eight other central banks to $620 billion from $290
billion previously, the Fed said in a statement.
The Fed announcement came after European and Asian central banks had
already been busy pumping more money into sclerotic banking systems on
Monday, in an effort to persuade financial firms to stop hoarding cash,
which threatens to bring down global economy."
