Explanation

To stimulate the economy through expansionary monetary policy, the State Bank of Pakistan would buy government securities in the open market. This injects liquidity into the banking system, encouraging lending and investment. Increasing reserve ratios or interest rates would have a contractionary effect, while selling securities would withdraw liquidity.
