Answer
Option b) is correct. Foreign exchange market Operations
Reason:
The last time the Bank intervened in foreign exchange markets to affect movements in the Canadian dollar was in September 1994. Prior to that, Canada’s policy was to intervene systematically in the foreign exchange market to resist, in an automatic fashion, significant upward or downward pressure on the Canadian dollar.
In September 1994, the policy was changed because of the ineffectiveness of intervening to resist movements in the exchange rate caused by changes in fundamental factors. Canada’s current policy is to intervene in foreign exchange markets on a discretionary, rather than a systematic, basis and only in the most exceptional of circumstances.
