“Stabilizing an Economic Struggle” Please respond to the following:

When the economy is struggling, monitoring price stability and the housing market are key steps that the Federal Reserve can use for stabilizing the economy.  Price stability is an important factor for stabilizing the economy.  When goods become expensive, they are replaced by substitutes.  An example of where this can be seen is the auto industry.  If new luxury vehicles become too expensive or the interest rates for the new loan are high, these vehicles are replaced by either used or cheaper vehicles.  In turn, businesses lose sales revenue which can lead to job losses.  The demand for luxury vehicles declines which can also lead to surpluses for the type of vehicle within the auto industry. For these reasons, I feel it is important for the Federal Reserve to monitor prices due to the fact that it can affect many industries.

In the housing market, when many homes go into foreclosure, financial institutions lose money.  Financial Institutions are left with the burden of these bad loans which places them at risk of bankruptcy.   In effort to compensate for these losses, interest rates are increased, it becomes harder to obtain low interest loans, lending demand is lowered and fewer loans are given.  It is imperative for the Federal Reserve to monitor the housing market in order to help financial institutions of such losses.  For struggling homeowners, assistance programs can be set in place in order to deter a possible foreclosure.  In an online article titled “What is the Federal Reserve doing to help stabilize neighborhoods in the wake of the foreclosure crisis?” it is noted that in 2012, the Federal Reserve created the Mortgage Outreach and Research Effort program raised awareness and engaged policymakers, community organizations, financial institutions, and the public regarding foreclosures.
