If the Fed wants to increase the money supply with open-market operations, what does it do?
Nick J.
Assume there is an increase in government spending financed by government borrowing. With a specific money supply, the consequent Multiple Choice expansionary impact might be lessened by the resulting increase in the interest rate. expansionary impact might be enhanced by the resulting decline in the interest rate. contractionary impact might be enhanced by the resulting decline in the interest rate. contractionary impact might be lessened by the resulting increase in the interest rate.

If the Fed wants to increase the money supply, it can BUY OR SELL bonds in open-market operations. If the Fed reduces the reserve requirement, the money supply INCREASES OR DECREASES. If the Fed wants to increase the money supply, it can INCREASE OR DECREASE the interest rate it pays on reserves. When the FOMC decreases its target for the federal funds rate, the money supply will INCREASE OR DECREASE. If bankers decide to hold more excess reserves because they are fearful of bank runs, the money supply DECREASES OR INCREASES.
