➤ Is changing reserve requirements a common tool for targeting inflation?
Changing reserve requirements is rare. The Fed prefers adjusting the policy interest rate and using open market operations or asset purchases. Reserve requirement shifts can be abrupt and affect bank liquidity broadly. They can disrupt payments and lending, so the Fed uses them mainly for financial-stability goals rather than routine inflation targeting.
