Reserve Bank actions to influence the availability and cost of money. In tandem with fiscal policy, monetary policy is one of the chief arms of Government economic policy. Tight monetary policy usually means higher interest rates as the scarcity of money prevails, whereas loose monetary policy is the reverse.
Governmental policy regulating the supply of money in the economy. For instance, in a weak economy, the government might stimulate growth by extending more credit to the banking industry. That action serves to increase the amount of money in circulation, which bolsters the economy. By the same token, the government can temper an overheating economy by reducing the money supply through bank credit restrictions.
Methods used by central banks and governments to control the level of economic activity in a national economy. Rates of economic growth can be controlled through the supply of credit to the banking system, changes in interest rates, or by altering the reserve requirement for the banks. Economic activity is typically measured by looking at industrial production, employment and consumer spending statistics. oney Center Bank A term that describes the largest U.S. banks located in major financial centers that participate in national and international money markets.

Central bank attempts to influence the economy through money supply levels.
The Federal Reserve actions that are designed to influence the availability and cost of money. Specific policy includes changing the discount rate, altering bank reserve requirements, and open-market operations.

This situation can be expected to have a negative impact on the security markets in the short run, although the long-run effects may be positive because of reduced inflationary pressures.

Federal Reserve actions to influence interest rates or the money supply
The rule or attempt of a country's governments to change aggregate demand through money supply changes.
A central bank's management of a country's money supply.

Monetary policies are ones that use the level of the money supply and interest rates to influence the level of economic activity. The government may want to use their monetary policy to either boost economic activity (if the economy is in a recession) or perhaps to reduce economic activity (if the economy is growing too fast, causing inflation). If they want to slow down the economy they may use contractionary (or deflationary) monetary policy. This is likely to mean: increasing the level of interest rates reducing the rate of growth of the money supply On the other hand if they want to boost the economy because it is in a downturn, they may choose to use expansionary (or reflationary) monetary policy. This would mean: reducing the level of interest rates allowing the rate of growth of the money supply to increase
Generally associated with the setting of interest rate levels in an economy to try and stimulate or stifle borrowing and thus control consumer demand/spending. Conventional wisdom states that if interest rates move in an upward direction in one nation (under normal economic circumstances) then the currency in that nation should move up in value against foreign currencies. The rational is that the rate of return on interest bearing deposits become more attractive and the foreign demand for that currency should increase.

the way a government manages money supply and interest rates
The process of managing the supply of money and credit in the economy. Monetary policy in Canada as in other modern economies is managed by the central bank, although the Bank of Canada is ultimately responsible to the federal government. The primary objective of monetary policy is to contribute to the performance of the Canadian economy. This goal is best realized in practice by achieving and maintaining price stability. The Bank of Canada's primary instrument for managing the supply of money is its influence on short-term interest rates; the Bank has virtually no control over long-term interest rates, which are determined mainly by inflation expectations. The Bank influences short-term interest rates mainly by inducing decreases or increases in the level of liquidity (i.e., cash) in the financial system. A decrease results in higher interest rates; a liquidity increase results in lower interest rates. The Bank influences the level of liquidity in the financial system mainly through its control over the level of government deposits in major deposit-taking institutions.
Government policy and actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board to regulate the nation's money supply.
Monetary policy is the process by which the government, central bank, or monetary authority manages the money supply to achieve specific goals—such as constraining inflation, maintaining an exchange rate, achieving full employment or economic growth. (Usually the goal of monetary policy is to accommodate economic growth in a an environment of stable prices.) Monetary policy can involve changing certain interest rates, either directly or indirectly through open market operations, setting reserve requirements, acting as a last-resort lender (i.e. discount window lending), or trading in foreign exchange markets.
