Answer (1)

The correct answer is C. When the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) lowers interest rates, it becomes easier and cheaper to borrow money. This encourages businesses to invest and people to spend more, boosting the economy. It’s called expansionary policy because it supports growth. This was done during the COVID-19 pandemic to help businesses survive and stimulate economic activity.
