Question
Write short note on:
Open Market Operations (OMO)
Solution
Open Market Operations refer to the buying and selling of government securities. These securities can be bought or sold to the public or to the commercial banks in an open market. Open Market Operations are used by the Central Bank to affect money supply in the economy. The selling of securities by the RBI will wipe out the extra cash balance from the economy, thereby limiting the money supply, whereas in the case of buying securities by RBI, additional money is pumped into the economy stimulating money supply.
