The Central Bank employs various quantitative and qualitative monetary policy instruments to regulate liquidity and control economic activity. Match each monetary policy instrument in Column I with its corresponding operational mechanism in Column II.
- High Bank Rate (Discount Rate) AdjustmentIncreases the cost of borrowing for commercial banks rediscounting bills, thereby raising lending rates across the banking system to restrict credit expansion.
- Open Market Sale of Treasury CertificatesDirectly reduces liquid reserves in the banking system and cash holdings in the public domain by exchanging government debt instruments for bank deposits.
- Special Deposit CallCompels commercial banks to immobilize a specified percentage of their surplus liquid funds in central bank reserves, freezing their excess lending capacity.
- Moral Suasion and DirectivesEmploys non-statutory persuasion and selective priority quotas to influence commercial bank credit allocation toward targeted economic sectors.
Cevap
High Bank Rate (Discount Rate) Adjustment matches with increasing commercial bank borrowing costs and lending rates; Open Market Sale of Treasury Certificates matches with directly absorbing liquid reserves by exchanging debt instruments for bank deposits; Special Deposit Call matches with compelling banks to immobilize surplus funds with the central bank; Moral Suasion and Directives matches with using non-statutory persuasion and priority guidelines to influence credit allocation.
Each central bank instrument operates through a distinct economic mechanism: bank rate adjustments manipulate the price of borrowing, open market sales manipulate circulating securities and money supply, special deposits physically lock up excess commercial bank liquidity, and moral suasion qualitatively steers credit distribution.
