  • The new bond purchase program could undermine the credibility of the Fed

  • Purchase of assets is unlikely to benefit greatly

  • Gradual decline in rates is unlikely to foster an economic growth

  • Costs and risks outweigh the positive effects of QE3

  • Further easing of Fed policy was inappropriate, it is unlikely to be effective

  • Recovery time from soft policy may occur much earlier than mid 2015

  • Europe continues to pose a significant uncertainty

  • Current policy generates long-term inflation risks

  • In the medium to long term, inflation is expected to reach 2%

  • Monetary policy can do little to spur job creation

  • Prospects for the labor market will improve only gradually
