The monetary policy tools that would be involved in this study are open market operation (OMO), required reserve ratio (RRR) the cash reserve ratio ( CRR) interest rate policy (IRP), and exchange rate policy (ERP).
The following monetary policy instrument will be excluded such as discount rate policy (DRP) and moral suasion.
