Question 5 Consider a scenario where the Bank of England views the UK economy to be overheating and is attempting to slow the economy down using monetary policy. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the effects of an interest rate rise? (select all correct answers) Choose at least one correct answer It leads to higher demand for GBP, which results in an appreciation of GBP. An interest rate rise does lead to higher demand for UK bonds, but due to their lower prices. It leads to higher bond prices, which result in higher demand for UK bonds. Cheaper imports mean higher leakage. This reduces aggregate demand. It has opposing effects to the UK's aggregate demand (AD) of discouraging investment, which lowers AD, and cheaper imports, which boosts AD.

Consider two countries, Canada (Home) and US (Foreign). In 2018, Canada experienced relatively slow output growth (2%), whereas US had relatively robust output growth (4.2%). Suppose the Bank of Canada allowed the money supply to grow by 2% each year, whereas the Federal Reserve (Fed), the US central bank, chose to maintain relatively high money growth of 10% per year. For the following questions, use the simple monetary model (where I is constant).Consider the general monetary model, in which L is no longer assumed constant and money demand is inversely related to the nominal interest rate. In addition to the scenario described in the beginning of the question, the bank deposits in Canada pay 3% interest. Suppose the Fed increases the money growth rate from 10% to 12% and the inflation rate rises proportionately (one for one) with this increase. Using time series diagrams, illustrate how this increase in the money growth rate affects the US money supply, interest rate, prices, real…
Scenario: The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) left its key repo rate unchanged at a 14-year high of 8.25% during its July 2023 meeting, matching expectations, and marking a pause in its tightening cycle after 10 consecutive rate hikes. However, the Governor noted the decision does not represent the end of the hiking cycle neither that interest rates have peaked, and the next steps will depend on inflation. Policymakers expect lower inflation this year at 6% (vs 6.2%), mainly due to softer food and core prices, although upside risks still hold. Headline inflation fell to 5.4% in June, back to the central bank target of 3%-6% for the first time in 14 months and is forecast to sustainably revert to the 4.5% by the third quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, policymakers raised growth forecast for this year to 0.4% from 0.3% but noticed that energy and logistical constraints continue limiting economic activity and increasing costs. Growth forecast for 2024 and 2025 were kept steady at 1% and 1.1%,…
Reflections on a classic: A Monetary History of the United States, 1867 to 1960, by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz, is a classic study of monetary policy and was published in 1963. Read the interview with Anna Schwartz available at www.minneapolisfed.org/pubs/region/93-09/int939.cfm, and explain what you think was the main contribution of this book. (Other interesting interviews with famous macroeconomists are gathered at http://minneapolisfed.org /pubs/region.)
Suppose now the Fed, as part of its "Quantitative Easing" policy, conducts an open market purchase of $500 long-term mortgage-backed securities (MBS) from the banking system. Furthermore, assume that banks decide to hold $400 of excess reserves following the QE policy. Reflect the immediate impact of this open market operation in the balance sheets below. Also reflect the changes in the balance sheet of the banking system due to the money multiplier process. (Put + or -, and appropriate number, to reflect the changes. Leave the unchanged entries as blank.). Federal Reserve Banking System Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Securities Currency Reserves Deposits Borrowing Bank capital Loans to banks Reserves Securities Loans to HH/firms Total assets Total liab.

D) the value of the dollar falls on the foreign exchange market. 29) An inflation rate targeting rule A) reduces uncertainty about monetary policy. B) means that the inflation rate must exceed 5 percent in order for the rule to be effective. C) has been adopted the by the Fed in response to the financial crisis of 2008-2009. D) will not work if the Fed continues to sue open market operations.
Question Two As an investment advisor, you have been requested to advise a client on whether he should invest his ten million dollars in Zambia or in South Africa. What key theory would you apply to advise the client on the short term and medium term implications of investing locally and abroad? The Government of Zambia has decided to pursue a dual mandate of price stability and economic growth in the conduct of monetary policy. Advise on the possibility of the country achieving both price stability and economic activity stability in the case of a temporary supply shock. Ensure to demonstrate this with the aid of the Aggregate Demand and Aggregate supply framework.
Squeezed at home by razor-thin margins and negative interest rates, Japanese banks have more than doubled borrowing and lending in dollars since 2017. Why is this practice risky? Japanese banks are exposed to liquidity risks due to difficulty in pulling funds out of foreign countries in a short time period. Japanese banks are exposed to interest rate risks due to uncontrollable rate changes outside the jurisdiction of Japanese central bank. Japanese banks are exposed to default risks due to lending to foreign borrowers. Japanese banks are exposed to exchange rate risks due to mismatched assets and liabilities in different currencies.
Consider a fall in the money supply and the impact that this will have on equilibrium in the goods market via both transmission mechanisms. Which of the following would lead to the biggest change in national income following this fall in the money supply? (a) An investment demand curve that is unresponsive to interest rate changes and an elastic liquidity preference curve. (b) An elastic investment demand curve and a high level of responsiveness from export and import demand following a change in the exchange rate. (c) A lack of responsiveness of the exchange rate to interest rate changes and an endogenous money supply. (d) A low level of responsiveness from export and import demand to a change in interest rates and an exogenous money supply curve.
Continued monetary tightening 05 October 2022 The Monetary Policy Committee today increased the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 3.5% from 3.0%. The Committee agreed it remains appropriate to continue to tighten monetary conditions at pace to maintain price stability and contribute to maximum sustainable employment. Core consumer price inflation is too high and labour resources are scarce. Global consumer price pressures remain heightened. The global demand for goods and services is exceeding supply capacity, putting upward pressure on prices. Food and energy prices are being particularly exacerbated by the war in Ukraine. A recent decline in oil prices and an easing in some supply-chain constraints have seen headline inflation measures fall in some countries. However, core measures of inflation have risen and persist. Central banks are tightening monetary conditions, implying a weaker growth outlook for New Zealand's trading partners. In New Zealand, the level of domestic spending has…
d) Suppose the money demand function was of the following form: M^d / P = Y η What must the central bank do to achieve an inflation target of 2% over the long-run given a growth rate of income of 5% and an elasticity of money demand with respect to income of 0.8? You can assume that the real rate of interest, r, is fixed at 6%.
