Quantitative easing

Quantitative easing is when a country's central bank prints more money and uses it to buy assets like government bonds. This extra money increases the amount of money in the economy, which can help businesses and households spend more and stimulate the economy. It can help lower interest rates, making it easier for businesses and households to borrow money, and can help increase prices of assets like stocks and bonds.
