Which among the following will lead to a reduction in the money supply of the economy ?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

When RBI sells bonds (open market operations), it receives money from the public, reducing money supply in the economy. Buying bonds injects money, increasing supply. Decreasing bank rate makes borrowing cheaper, increasing supply. Reducing CRR frees up bank reserves, increasing lending and money supply. Only selling bonds reduces money supply.
