| Lending markets vol., FB money creating indic., Curr.liq. |

1. I would like to have full statistics, how much dollars was printed by Federal Bank of United States in 2009 (and history of this indicator for as many as possible years) to lend this money to U.S. private banks.
If exactly, "Printing money for lending it to foreign banks", "Printing money for lending it to U.S. private banks", or all other possible purposes for which Federal Bank can print the money.
This information can be found at Federal Bank web-site, but I don't know where exactly I can find it.
2. Also would be good to have information about lending markets volume in U.S. like: "How much money all U.S. private banks earned this year by lending money? (Any kind of lending)".
I think this information can be found in some of (like on web-site of IRS) U.S. tax department, but also I don't have idea how to find it.
3. And also I have a question about foreign currencies liquidity. It is possible to calculate currencies liquidity according to any economy indicators? I need information about liquidity because it would be great to have real numbers telling me what currency more liquid. I know that exist liquidity it is more psychological factor (like if many people don't trust U.S. Dollar who will want to buy it?). But as we can't measure trust for currencies - maybe anyway exist something measurable? Like real numbers / economy indicators, etc?
Thanks!

A couple of points:
There is no "Federal Bank of the United States".
The entity of the U.S. Government that's responsible for handling the transactions of the US government is the U.S. Treasury.
There is a central banking system, which is what I think you're asking about, but it's not part of the U.S. Government. The Federal Reserve System is a group of private banks given special authority and powers by the US Government to regulate certain aspects of the national currency, the US Dollar, and through their influence on the monetary system, they're mandated to help provide stability to the financial markets and banking system. The Treasury and the Fed work closely together to implement policy, but it would make an interesting debate about who exactly is responsible for making policy.
The data you seek isn't a concrete data point. But the closest you'll be able to come are the various measures of money supply, US government borrowing, public and private debt. I suggest you take particular note of exactly what the definitions are, because without knowing exactly what the definitions are, your interpretation of the data has no meaning. "Public debt" for example, has a specific meaning, and you can find data for that, but without knowing what it means, the numbers are useless.
The data you're looking for can be found amongst various government agencies, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Office of Management and Budget, The US Treasury (Department of the Treasury), The Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve Banks of New York and of St. Louis are good sources), the Comptroller-General, the Financial Stability and Oversight Board, The Congressional Budget Office, just for starters. Good luck making any sense of it all.
As far a currency liquidity versus economic indicators, that would be a really interesting correlation study. Though you might consider which direction you want to approach it from. I think taking a viewpoint that the economic indicators are the dependent variables would make the more interesting study, not the other way around, as your question seems to indidate your approach.
