Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Reserve (the Fed) does not directly help businesses obtain loans. Its primary functions include controlling the money supply, regulating banks, managing inflation, and acting as the government's bank. Printing, distributing, and destroying currency are part of its responsibilities in managing the money supply, but facilitating business loans directly is not a function of the Fed; rather, it influences the conditions under which loans can be obtained through monetary policy.
