2. What is the policy of sterilization? Give an example.
Sterilization is the monetary action for the
central government. The central government strict the impacts of outflows as
well as capital inflows through these actions for the money supply in an
economy. This is done by the purchase along with the sale of the financial
assets that gives the results of the manipulations value for the foreign
currency. The policy of Sterilization is a very effective policy, and its main
causes are to increase the supply of the USD, which is addressed in the below
scenario. The cons of the sterilization policy increase the supply of the USD,
which flow the back in the domestic country (Aizenman , 2008).
Examples
Form the reserves; the FED busy the Indian rupees
with the USD. Supply of the INR reduced the foreign currency market as well as
it also increases the amount of the dollars in circulation, therefore impact of
USD versus INR. Through the selling government, the impact of the action is sterilized
that will also reduce the amount of US dollars in circulations.
The next example is related to the currency of
China that is increasing day by day due to the economic structure of the
country. The US economy is also too much strong, and it is stronger than China.
Due to this, there is trade war enable between China and America. This will
damage the economy of both countries in the future. This must need to be
stopped according to the policy of sterilization.

country. Due to the financial crisis, the cost of the fertilizers is increased,
which is also decreased agriculture rate. The supply of the cash drops along
with the foods item, is affected by this. The demand is decreased, and the rate
of production is decreased, which is also increased the rate of employment. Through
the raw material, the Latin American countries respond to this country that is
reduced it’s spending. Then to reduce the spending, the wages of the employees
is also decreased (Ocampo, 2009).
