Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The effect of the sale of dollars in foreign exchange market by Federal Reserve would increase the international reserves, money supply but would decrease the exchange rate. As the government has conducted the offsetting open market operation, it will decrease the international reserves, money supply and would increase the exchange rate and end result would be same as before. So, there would be no major change in the international reserves, money supply and exchange rate due to offsetting open market operations.

Thus, the effect on the internal reserves, on money supply and on the exchange rate would remain same under given situation.
