A fall in the bank rate __________ the money supply.

Solution

Correct Option: 2

Bank rate is the rate at which the central bank lends to commercial banks. A fall in bank rate makes borrowing cheaper for commercial banks, which in turn lend more to the public. This increases the credit creation capacity of banks, thereby increasing the money supply in the economy.
