Solution

The correct option is B
2 and 3 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: It is a tool used by RBI to enhance liquidity in the system through which as much as $$$ 5 billion is bought from the banks in a swap deal that could inject nearly 35,000 crores into the system.This could potentially increase inflation.

Statement 2 is correct: Under the new swap, RBI wants to buy dollars from banks instead of bonds, but wants to return these dollars at the end of three years for a ‘forward’ premium. Forward premium is the price paid for hedging by buying dollars in the forward market.

Statement 3 is correct: According to bankers, the move is seen to lower the dependence on open market operations which have been a significant amount of the overall borrowing.
