Question 84 Explanation: 
  • Accommodative monetary policy ( Investopedia ) occurs when a central bank attempts to expand the overall money supply to boost the economy when growth is slowing (as measured by GDP). Accommodative monetary policy is also known as "easy monetary policy" or "loose credit policy." Thus there is no scope for money supply to decrease with such a stance.
  • A neutral stance affords a central bank "the latitude to swing either way" (money supply thus may decrease, keep steady or increase, depending on what the central bank decisions are with respect to repo rates, etc.)
  • Improvisation ( TH ): " what this stance indicates very clearly is that going forward there are only two actions in this particular rate cycle. Either we increase rate or we keep them steady."
