Jerome Powell states that the Federal Reserve will end Quantitative Tightening (QT) on December 1, 2025. From December 2025, the balance sheet size will be held steady, with maturing mortgage-backed securities proceeds reinvested into Treasury bills to foster a portfolio primarily of Treasury securities, while reserve balances gradually move lower.
"The Fed will end QT on December 1, and mortgage-backed security redemptions will be invested into T-bills after it. In December, we'll enter the next phase of our normalization plans by holding the size of our balance sheet steady. While reserve balances continue to move gradually lower as other non-reserve liabilities such as currency keep growing, we will continue to allow agency securities to run off our balance sheet and will reinvest the proceeds from those securities in Treasury bills, furthering progress toward a portfolio consisting primarily of Treasury securities."
