Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is money will decrease, meaning that banks will give fewer loans and prices for goods and services will fall. This is because higher interest rates means that it is more expensive to borrow money and therefore fewer people and businesses will request loans.This increases the money supply, economic growth and the rate of inflation. ... So, a higher reserve rate means the banks have to keep more cash on hand, decreasing the money supply.
