History

Historical Context

In response to the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to near zero, aiming to stimulate the economy as unemployment peaked at 10% in October 2009. This unprecedented monetary policy persisted until December 2015, contributing to a gradual recovery. Today, with a 4.3% unemployment rate and 130,000 jobs added, financial innovations like Ripple's partnership with Aviva reflect ongoing economic adaptation.
