In both 2010 and 2011, leading economic indicators showed that the first-half slowdown had bottomed out, and that growth was already accelerating before the announcement of monetary easing. Thus, QE nudged along an economy that was already recovering, which prolonged asset reflation.
但目前没有更大范围的反弹出现。在2010和2011年，一些前导经济指数显示上半年的经济放缓已经触底反弹，且增长在货币宽松宣布之前就已经开始加速。因此当时宽松助推了一个已经开始复苏的经济，并因此延长了资产的再膨胀。
