Finally, some concluding remarks are shown. The monetary policy pursued by a country's Central Bank has a significant impact on the country's economic and financial status. It is commonly acknowledged that maintaining price stability through monetary policy can contribute to long-term growth. When the rate of inflation is low enough, consumers and companies do not have to consider it when making daily decisions, according to Christiano and Fitzgerald. The method, through which a country's monetary authority manages the supply of money, frequently by targeting an interest rate in order to promote economic growth and stability, is known as monetary policy. It is essentially a set of actions performed by monetary authorities, usually the central bank, to control and regulate the supply of money to the public as well as the flow of credit in order to achieve preset macroeconomic objectives. Its stated objective is to maintain relatively steady pricing and low unemployment. All methods of monetary policy, in reality, require changing the amount of base currency in circulation. Open market operations are the open sales and purchases of (government-issued) debt and credit instruments that change the liquidity of the base currency. The monetary authority's constant market operations influence the supply of currency, which has an impact on other market variables including short-term interest rates and the exchange rate.
