     The Fed can reduce the size of excess reserves…

             Bill, Notes and Bonds
             Federal agency debt securities & mortgage-backed securities
         By reducing the credit facilities

     Why does the Federal Reserve want to pay interest on excess balances?
     “Paying interest on excess balances should help to establish a lower bound on the federal funds rate by lessening
     the incentive for institutions to trade balances in the market at rates much below the rate paid on excess balances.
     Paying interest on excess balances will permit the Federal Reserve to provide sufficient liquidity to support
     financial stability while implementing the monetary policy that is appropriate in light of the System's
     macroeconomic objectives of maximum employment and price stability”
     Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

                   The impact of rising government debt on bond yields is unclear
                              The sign of the relation between debt and yield can be negative


                   The Fed estimates the possible impact of government debt
                              For 1% of Debt / Gdp, interest rates can increase between 3 and 4 basis points
                              For a change of 35% of the Debt / Gdp, the bonds yield could increase to 1.25%

Can we really trust Governments ?
     Yes, we can


        The fiscal stimulus avoided new “Great Depression”…
            Rescue of the banking system
            Help for consumers


        …but caused an explosion of budget deficit
            Record of budget deficit
            And increase of government debt supply


        The increased supply can be absorbed by new demand…
            Quantitative easing via Central Banks
            Foreign Holders
            Internal demand due to increased savings


        …if government keeps it credibility
            Possibility to the return to equilibrium
            The releveraging public sector compensates the deleveraging in the private sector
