Central Bank's Balance Sheets- Aug 2008 thru Oct 2014

The US Federal Reserve has decided to conclude its Asset Purchase Program (QE), once as high as $85B per month. Over the course of the US Fed's multiple easing programs, its Balance Sheet has grown on a percentage basis much more than any other major Central Bank. Currently, only the Bank of England comes close to the Fed's Balance Sheet expansion, with the Swiss next in line, but only acting defensively to prevent the Franc from appreciation beyond limits, keeping Swiss Industry globally competitive- Courtesy: @axelmerk
