Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect. There is an inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates. Thus, the purchase of bonds via an OMO raises the price of bonds and reduces rates.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect. Outright Purchase is permanent and involves the outright selling or buying of government securities. A Repurchase Agreement is short-term and is subject to repurchase.
