The credit crunch brought this debt issue center stage,
In these financially gloomy times its every country priority to see how they can reduce their national debt .
In the past Americal FED came up with QE1 AND QE2
Quantitative easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the national economy when conventional monetary policy has become ineffective. A central bank buys financial assets to inject a pre-determined quantity of money into the economy. This is distinguished from the more usual policy of buying or selling financial assets to keep market interest rates at a specified target value.

whispers are already heard about QE3 Coming ,will that happen or not we will know soon ,
If QE3 comes be ready to see short term liquidity flood in emerging markets whichin turn
should fuel inflation to them.
