  2. to decrease the interest rate

a) Only II is true

b) Both I & II are true

c) Only I is true

d) Neither I nor II are true

Answer: (c)

Quantitative easing is distinguished from standard central banking monetary policies, which usually targets the interbank interest rate. When interest rates have been lowered to nearly zero (because of either deflation or extremely low money demand), when a large number of non-performing or defaulted loans prevent further lending (money supply growth) by member banks, and when the main systemic risk is a recession or depression because banks cannot lend any more money, then central banks need to implement a new set of tactics. These are known as quantitative easing.

The central bank may enact quantitative easing by purchasing a predetermined quantity of bonds or other assets from financial institutions without reference to the interest rate.

The goal of this policy is to increase the money supply rather than to decrease the interest rate, which cannot be decreased further. This is often considered a last resort to stimulate the economy.
