[12-12-2025] UPSC PYQ 2022: With reference to the Indian economy, consider the following statements

Statement 1:  
Buying G-secs injects liquidity, which increases money supply, worsening inflation.
To fight high inflation, RBI sells government securities to suck liquidity out.

Statement 2:  
Selling dollars increases dollar supply → supports the rupee → slows depreciation.

Statement 3:  
Lower interest rates abroad → capital inflows to emerging markets → rupee tends to appreciate.
To prevent excessive appreciation, RBI buys dollars to build reserves and maintain competitiveness.
