This article examines the impact of the US Quantitative Easing (QE) on the Indian economy. Against the backdrop of indications of economic slowdown worldwide and developing countries lowering the interest rates and restarting the treasury purchases, it aims to understand the influence US QE had on Indian economy and how it will impact way forward. Macroeconomic variables pertaining to India and the USA were examined from September 2008 to June 2019 (fortnightly data) using the vector error correction method model. It was found that the influence of the US monetary base on the Indian money supply was far more as compared to the US policy rate. Overall, the impact of QE on the Indian economy has not been as large as on the other economies of the world due to regular RBI intervention in terms of interest rates, exchange rates and other active monetary policy measures.
