Forward contracts are private, customized定制contracts between a bank and its clients depending on the client’s needs (OTC). There is no secondary market for forward contracts since they are private contractual agreements.
Forward contracts are settled at expiration.

14、How does the Fed use the monetary policy tools to adjust the money supply?
（1）When the Fed issues securities, the commercial banks purchase those that are most attractive. The total funds decrease and the money supply falls.
When the Fed purchase securities, the total funds increase, which represents a loosening of money supply growth.
（2）To increase the money supply, the Fed can authorized a reduction in the discount rate; to decrease the money supply, the Fed can increase the discount rate.
（3）The lower the reserve requirement ratio, the greater the lending capacity of depository institutions, so a larger money supply.

The federal government demand-for-loanable-funds schedule is Dg1, if new bills are passed that cause a net increase in the deficit of USD20 billion, the federal government demand for loanable funds will increaseby that amount. The new demand schedule is Dg2. 17、What are the ways by which the money flows from individual surplus units to deficit units?
a major type of financial intermediary is the depository institution which accepts deposits from surplus units and provides credit to deficit units through loans and purchases of securities.
