Claim
聯邦基金利率自2008年12月16日起,一直維持在0.25%。
Correction

This is outdated and incorrect: the federal funds target did not stay at 0.25% indefinitely. The Fed raised it to 0.25%–0.50% in December 2015 and changed it many times afterward.

Full reasoning

The article says the federal funds rate has remained at 0.25% since December 16, 2008. Federal Reserve records contradict that.

  • The Federal Reserve’s official open-market-operations history shows the target range was set at 0–0.25% on December 16, 2008.
  • It also shows the Fed raised the target range to 0.25–0.50% on December 17, 2015, and then changed it repeatedly in later years.
  • A separate Federal Reserve implementation note dated December 16, 2015 likewise states that, effective December 17, 2015, the FOMC directed operations to maintain the federal funds rate in a target range of 1/4 to 1/2 percent.

So the claim that it has "一直維持在0.25%" (“has continuously remained at 0.25%”) is false.

Claim
2012年11月起,美联储开始了第三轮量化宽松(英語:a third round of quantitative easing,简称QE3)。
Correction

The start date is wrong. The Fed announced QE3 on September 13, 2012, not November 2012.

Full reasoning

This sentence says QE3 began in November 2012. The Federal Reserve’s own records show otherwise.

  • In the FOMC statement released on September 13, 2012, the Committee said it had agreed that day to purchase additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month.
  • The Federal Reserve’s official balance-sheet-policy timeline explicitly identifies September 13, 2012 as the start of the third large-scale asset purchase program (LSAP3 / QE3).

December 2012 brought an expansion of purchases to include longer-term Treasuries after Operation Twist ended, but the third round itself began in September 2012, not November 2012.

Claim
2015年12月4日,歐洲央行宣布延長QE至2017年3月
Correction

The date is incorrect. The ECB announced this package on December 3, 2015, not December 4, 2015.

Full reasoning

The claim gives the announcement date as 2015年12月4日. The ECB’s official press release is dated 3 December 2015.

In that release, the ECB states that at today’s meeting the Governing Council decided to cut the deposit facility rate to -0.30% and communicated the related monetary-policy decisions on 3 December 2015. The ECB’s 2015 Annual Report also summarizes that on 3 December 2015 the Governing Council cut the deposit facility rate and extended the asset purchase programme at least until March 2017.

So the statement’s date is off by one day.

    On 3 December 2015 the Governing Council decided to cut the deposit facility rate to -30 basis points and extended the APP at least until March 2017.

Claim
以買債為例,各類企業會發行債務,政府便會購入這些債務,把資金注入企業。
Correction

This misstates how U.S. QE worked. The Fed’s QE programs bought Treasuries, agency debt, and agency mortgage-backed securities—not debt issued by “various enterprises” in general.

Full reasoning

In the article’s U.S. section, this sentence describes QE as if firms generally issue debt and the government then buys that debt to inject money into those firms. That is not how the Federal Reserve’s main QE programs were structured.

Official Federal Reserve sources describe the 2008–2014 large-scale asset purchase programs as purchases of:

  • U.S. Treasury securities
  • agency mortgage-backed securities (agency MBS) backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae
  • agency debt issued by housing-related government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks

The Fed’s own balance-sheet timeline says its post-crisis purchases were of longer-term securities issued by the U.S. government and securities issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored agencies. The New York Fed’s LSAP archive likewise lists only Treasury securities, agency MBS, and agency debt for these programs.

So the sentence is incorrect because it portrays U.S. QE as the government buying debt from “various enterprises” generally, rather than the specific Treasury and housing-agency-related securities that the Fed actually purchased.

  • Federal Reserve Board - Timeline: Balance Sheet Policies

    In the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, the Federal Reserve purchased longer-term securities issued by the U.S. government and longer-term securities issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored agencies such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

  • Federal Reserve Bank of New York - Large-Scale Asset Purchases

    The longer-term securities purchased during these programs included: U.S. Treasury securities; mortgage-backed securities backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae (agency MBS); and direct obligations of housing-related government sponsored enterprises ... (agency debt).
