Group 4: Challenges to Independence - The Federal Reserve's independence is under unprecedented pressure, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to significant asset purchases and a substantial increase in its balance sheet [5][6]. - The blurred lines between monetary and fiscal policy have raised questions about the Fed's technical independence amid rising public and political scrutiny [5][6].
