Question 2

In a period of significant economic overheating characterized by high inflation and rapid credit growth in India, which combination of monetary policy actions would the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) typically implement to stabilize the economy?

Accepted Answer

C. Increasing the Repo Rate and selling government securities through Open Market Operations (OMOs). — To combat high inflation and rapid credit growth (economic overheating), the RBI employs contractionary monetary policy. Increasing the Repo Rate makes borrowing more expensive for commercial banks, thereby discouraging lending and reducing money supply. Simultaneously, selling government securities through Open Market Operations (OMOs) withdraws liquidity from the banking system, further tightening credit conditions and curbing inflation.

Answer

A. Reducing the Reverse Repo Rate and initiating long-term repo operations (LTROs).

Answer

B. Decreasing the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and buying government securities through Open Market Operations (OMOs).
