Quantitative Easing

                                        During a video conference with the Prime Minister of Telangana, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi demanded the adoption of quantitative easing - helicopter money and funding through the Reserve Bank of India as the state's financial situation has worsened. What are these two methods? Let us know when and why they are used.
                                       Quantitative Easing ..? It is a monetary policy. Quantitative easing is the ability to sell bonds and other financial assets and fill that deficit when the central or state government of any country exceeds its revenues and its financial situation deteriorates. The Reserve Bank of India needs to buy these bonds in this manner. The state will inject this wealth into the economy, irrespective of the interest rate, and encourage the purchasing power of the people. Thereby stabilizing the financial balance. Usually this method is used to inflate the economy when inflation is severe.
                                      Additionally, the influx of money into the marketplace will increase liquidity. Availability of loans is much easier. With that, people borrow large amounts and increase their purchasing power. The economy will collapse again. The state government bonds here are their own financial assets. These are also known as 'State Development Loans'. The method is to pay a pre-agreed percentage and eventually pay the original amount over a period of time. For example, suppose a state issues a bond worth 10 crores and the Reserve Bank takes it for 10 years under a 10 percent annual payment clause. This means that the state has to pay crores of rupees every year and then the full amount of ten crores in ten years. This is Quantitative Easing.


                                            This technique was first proposed by John Maynard Keynes, an economist. The Bank of Japan seems to have implemented it earlier. This method is still used in the US and Europe.
