Federal funds rate
Federal funds rate
The federal funds rate is the interest rate applied to loans made between member banks within the U.S. Federal Reserve system. Usually, these interbank arrangements are overnight loans, made to meet the Fed's cash reserve requirements. Because the federal funds rate affects pricing on short-term loans made to consumers and businesses, the Fed changes it periodically to stimulate or reign in the economy.
