In 2008, the Fed established currency-swap lines with the central banks of ten developed economies, including the eurozone, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Switzerland, and four emerging economies (Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, and Singapore). These arrangements, most of which ended in 2010, responded to strains in short-term credit markets and improved liquidity conditions during the crisis.
2008年，美联储与十个发达经济体的中央银行建立了货币互换机制，其中包括欧元区，英国，日本，瑞士，和四个新兴经济体（巴西，韩国，墨西哥，新加坡）。这些机制主要为了应对短期信贷市场的压力以及提高危机期间的流动性，并大部分在2010年底结束。其中韩国中央银行300亿美元的货币互换尽管金额有限，却也避免了韩元遭到冲击。
