d) An increase in liquidity and an increase in interest rates

Is the answer A or B? i thought it was B but i wanna make sure

 

[deterministic]

B

 

[sakatahahaha]

Lol how can you have second thoughts and think its A review your monitery policy chapter

The govt buys second hand government security in the over night money market to indirectly influence interest rates

Why ??

Because banks borrow money of each other too in the O.N.M.M now thru charge each other something called the cash rate. If banks have heeps of their uhm exchange settlement accounts the cash rate they charge will be smaller. By the govt buying these securities they increase the availability of money in the accounts hence they will charge the banks a lower cash rate and the banks won't need to make back bIg profit so the NOMINAL INTEREST RATES will be lower

If the bank sold govt securities opposite would happen.

A has a low standard of living than B, hence (A), (B) and (D) cannot be true.

Common sense.

As Sly said it is common sense.

The Human Development Index is a statistic used to rank countries by level of development and separate them into ranks of development" countries.

Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education and standards of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being.

Countries with high HDI will always have better qualities than lower HDI countries

Common sense.

This isn't really that common, fyi.

 

[powlmao]

This isn't really that common, fyi.

It should be if you know what the Human development index is and how it is made.

True. I can understand that few would fully understand the HDI.
