00:00 When we talk about the US Federal Reserve in 2023, it seems that it recorded operating
00:08 losses during the past year, which are the largest operating losses in the history of
00:15 the bank, which has been extended for 110 years.
00:18 Therefore, these spending, which reached almost $114 billion, is considered the largest operating
00:25 losses.
00:26 But the main obstacle that the US Federal Reserve overcame in the past year is the high
00:31 interest rates.
00:32 We were talking about interest rates of only 5% and it is considered the highest since
00:38 22 years.
00:39 Therefore, this is what prompted the US Federal Reserve to pay more interest rates and also
00:45 to pay back the banks' reservations and also to the bonds, in addition to the stocks related
00:51 to real estate.
00:52 So, these spending related to interest rates is what the US Federal Reserve overcame in
00:57 the past year.
00:58 Therefore, we say that the US Federal Reserve, during the years since the coronavirus, has
01:04 supported the economy through its purchases of bonds.
01:07 Therefore, we noticed that the US bond reserves for the past 10 years recorded historical levels
01:13 during the past year, and therefore, they had the highest levels in 16 years.
01:18 We also notice that the interest rates were high during the past year, and therefore, they
01:24 reached $281 billion.
01:25 Therefore, compared to 2022, we find that the numbers are only $102 billion.
01:30 Therefore, this is the main difference as a result of the increase in interest rates.
01:36 But if we talk in general about these operating losses compared to 2022, there was a huge
01:42 increase in profits, and therefore, the profit was $58.8 billion.
01:48 Therefore, this is what affected these operating interests and the loss records.
01:54 But moving this time to talk about the things related to the increase in profits for the
02:00 US Federal Reserve, and therefore, the lack of sufficient profit to cover costs and also
02:06 to pay the related profits, we see that the US Federal Reserve has not been able to pay
02:11 the related profits.
02:13 This may lead to losses on the bank, and therefore, we notice that this will be converted
02:19 into deposited assets, and it may reach almost $116 billion during 2023.
02:27 There are also some deposits that were made in 2022.
02:31 A total of almost $133 billion as deposits and deposits from 2023.
02:42 So, here we are talking about this main difference, and therefore, this reduction in profits
02:48 for the US Federal Reserve may make the Federal Reserve in this case a city for the
02:54 Ministry of Economy and Finance in terms of the profits achieved from the interest rates.
02:59 Therefore, the loss records are the first in history and the largest in US federal history.
