In economics, there are many policies that can be applied in order to make a change in a country’s economy.

The average duration of this changes takes from 1 to 5 years.

They will also decrease the money supply as much as possible by buying up securities to stabilize M1 (Currency in hands of nonbank public + Travelers checks + checking account deposits). These policies are put into place to limit growth and stabilize prices in the economy.
The Central Bank controls supply of money (M0). MO equals, currency + Bank reserves + Banks vault cash. M0 combines with the demand for federal funds and sets the federal funds rate in the economy. Now, let 's take a look at what determines the demand for money. The demand for money depends on the amount of money each individual and businesses are willing to hold, which goes hand in hand with the opportunity cost, being the interest foregone by holding
