Zorluk: OrtaCentral Bank: Functions and Monetary Policy Instruments

Below are central bank monetary policy instruments in Column I alongside various macroeconomic objectives in Column II. Match each policy instrument with the corresponding objective it is primarily designed to achieve.

  • Special Deposits RequirementImpounding excess commercial bank liquidity beyond regular cash reserve limits to curb money supply
  • Selective Credit GuidelinesDirecting commercial bank loans toward preferred developmental sectors like agriculture and manufacturing
  • Open Market Purchase of SecuritiesInjecting liquid funds into the banking system to enhance credit creation capacity during economic downturns
  • Increase in Minimum Rediscount RateRaising borrowing costs for commercial banks to discourage discounting and restrict overall credit creation

Cevap

Special Deposits Requirement pairs with impounding excess commercial bank liquidity beyond regular cash reserve limits; Selective Credit Guidelines pair with directing commercial bank loans toward preferred developmental sectors; Open Market Purchase of Securities pairs with injecting liquid funds into the banking system to enhance credit creation capacity; Increase in Minimum Rediscount Rate pairs with raising borrowing costs for commercial banks to discourage discounting and restrict overall credit creation.
Each instrument correctly corresponds to its primary monetary policy objective: Special Deposits mandate extra liquidity immobilization, Selective Credit Guidelines channel loans to target sectors, Open Market Purchases inject cash to expand credit, and increasing the Minimum Rediscount Rate raises discount costs to suppress credit.
