问题如下:
Which of the following is most likely the result from a policy rate increase?
选项:
A. The investment in new projects is increasing.
B. Consumers are more preferred to credit purchases.
C. The domestic currency is more valuable relative to foreign currency.
解释:
C is correct.
A rise in policy rates increases the bank’s lending rate in the short-run. Investors feel expensive to borrow and make new investment. Consumers will reduce credit purchases. However, a higher yield will attract foreign investment and strength the domestic currency correspondingly.

为什么同一措施会让国内国外不同?:C.让投资收益率上升,吸引国外投资。A. 国内投资减少
