What is the relationship between the discount rate and the federal funds rate in the context of monetary policy?
The discount rate is the interest rate at which banks borrow money directly from the Federal Reserve, while the federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend money to each other overnight. The Federal Reserve uses these rates to influence the overall economy. Typically, the discount rate is higher than the federal funds rate, and changes in one rate can impact the other. When the Federal Reserve wants to encourage borrowing and spending, it may lower the discount rate and federal funds rate to make it cheaper for banks to borrow money. Conversely, when the Federal Reserve wants to slow down the economy and control inflation, it may raise these rates to make borrowing more expensive.
What is the difference between the federal funds rate and the discount rate?
Financial and banking jargon is particularly arcane and confusing because different people use different terms for the same ideas, concepts, and rates. Other terms sound the same but are different. The federal funds rate, for example, is sometimes called the federal funds target rate or the intended federal funds rate. The latter two terms are more descriptive, because both imply that the Federal Reserve does not have direct control over the rate. The actual federal funds rate is the weighted average of interest rates that banks charge each other. It's set by open market competition but comes remarkably close to the target set by the Fed. The discount rate, in contrast, is usually about a half to a full percentage point higher than the federal funds rate. The Federal Reserve does control that one. The discount rate is the interest rate the Federal Reserve charges other depository institutions for very short-term (usually overnight) loans.
