The U.S. federal funds rate is the interest rate charged for overnight lending among financial institutions with accounts at the Federal Reserve and sets the base rate for borrowing costs across the financial system (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/federalfundsrate.asp). The target for the federal funds rate is set by the Federal Open Market Committee (http://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm). For more information on interest rates and the recovery of the US economy see http://www.theworldin.com/article/10475.
