Multiple choice question for Money, Interest Rates And Output. Select an option, then review the explanation below.
Explanation
When the central bank purchases a government bond, it injects money into the economy. The individual deposits this money into a bank, which can then lend out a portion based on its reserve ratio. This process leads to an increase in the money supply by an amount influenced by the bank’s reserve requirement. Therefore, the money supply rises by an amount that depends on the reserve ratio.
