Explanation:

Monetary policy are policies taken by the central bank of a country to shift aggregate demand.

Tools of monetary policy

1. Open market operations : government can either sell bonds to the public, this is known as open market sales. this is an example of an contractionary policy or it can buy bonds from the public. this is known as open market purchase. it is an expansionary policy

2. Reserve Requirement : Reserves are the proportion of deposits required by the central bank that banks keep

If reserve requirement is increased, it is an example of a contractionary policy. If on the other hand, it is reduced, it is an example of an expansionary policy.

3. Discount rate : this is the rate at which the central bank lends to commercial banks. An increase in discount rate is a contractionary policy while an decrease in discount rate is an expansionary policy

There are two types of monetary policy :

Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy

Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply. When money supply decreases, aggregate demand falls. Increasing interest rate and open market sales are ways of carrying out contractionary monetary policy
