Monetary Policy

Monetary policy is the process through which a country's monetary authority, typically the central bank or currency board, manages either the cost of short-term borrowing or the cash supply, with an emphasis on inflation or the loan charge to ensure currency strength and general faith in the currency. In India, Monetary policy is handled by the Reserve Bank of India.

Types of Monetary Policy

Expansionary Monetary Policy: If a country has a high unemployment rate, particularly during a crisis such as a slowdown or a recession, the country's monetary authority, which is generally the central bank, might pursue an expansionary policy aimed at enhancing economic growth and expanding economic activity. As part of expansionary monetary policy, the succeeding monetary authority frequently reduces consumer interest rates through different methods that make money-saving comparatively unfavourable and supports market spending.
Contractionary Monetary Policy Contractionary monetary policy is when a central bank utilizes monetary policy instruments to combat inflation. Because inflation is a sign of an overheated economy, the bank must reduce economic growth to keep the situation under control. As a result, conflicting monetary policy may result in slower economic development and more unemployment, although it is frequently essential to control inflation.
