प्रश्न
State any three instruments of monetary policy.
उत्तर
The three instruments of monetary policy include:
1. Moral Suasion- A persuasion technique followed by the central bank to pressurise the commercial banks to abide by the monetary policy is termed as moral suasion. This involves meetings, seminars, speeches and discussions, which explains the present economic scenario and thereby persuading the commercial banks to adapt the changes needed. In other words, this is an unofficial monetary policy that exercises the power of talk.
2. Direct Action- The central bank can also take direct action against those commercial banks who do not abide by its directives and policy changes. In this case, the central bank may directly refuse any grant of further funds to such banks.
3. Cash reserve ratio (CRR)- It refers to the minimum proportion of the total deposits that the commercial banks has to maintain with the central bank in form of reserves.
An increase in the CRR, would mean that banks would be required to keep a greater portion in form of deposits with the central bank. This implies that the commercial banks are left with lesser amount of funds to lend out. Hence, the lending capacity of the banks reduces, leading to fall in the money supply. On the contrary, a fall in CRR will lead to an increase in the money supply.
