Solution
In order to encourage investment in the economy, the central bank may Reduce cash reserve ratio.
Explanation:
- The central bank reduces the cash reserve ratio (CRR), allowing commercial banks to keep fewer reserves while having greater funds to lend.
- This boosts the economy's money supply and encourages investment by providing more loans to businesses and consumers at lower interest rates.
- The other options, such as raising the CRR or bank rate, would limit the money supply, discouraging investment.
