Bill Nelson on the Withering Fed Funds Market
Episode 72
Friday, 20 February, 2026

The Federal Reserve influences financial conditions through the federal funds market, a private market consisting of unsecured overnight interbank transactions. As the locus of money markets moves away from fed funds and more towards repos and SOFR, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan has argued the current policy regime no longer suits the financial system. In this episode, we talk with Bill Nelson, Chief Economist and Chief Research Officer at the Bank Policy Institute, about the shifting nature of the fed funds market, what it would take to revive fed funds, and some alternative approaches to short-term rate policy.
