Define the discount rate and the discount window
The minimum rate set by Fed for lending to banks is called
discount rate. It is also a monetary policy tool used by Feds to
increase or decrease liquidity in the economy and thereby
influencing key economic indicators like inflation, GDP and
domestic savings.
Discount window is the time frame when banks can borrow from fed to
meet their liquidity or statutory requirements. These borrowing are
collateralized and lower than discount rate .
