An expansionary monetary policy typically involves lowering interest rates and increasing liquidity in the economy. This can lead to increased domestic demand and inflation, potentially making the country's exports less competitive and increasing import demand. Furthermore, lower interest rates might make domestic assets less attractive to foreign investors, potentially leading to capital outflows. All these factors tend to weaken a currency (cause it to slide), not stop its slide.
Which one of the following is not the most likely measure the Government/RBI takes to stop the slide of Indian rupee?
