I remembers him looking at the watch after asking this question then I knew he must be late for another appointment, since we only had 30 minutes for the interview which was almost over. He said that the economy so far is operating well though we have some shortcomings in relation to monetary policy. He added that bank rate, liquidity ratio and OMO policies are one which are most effective currently (Woodford 468).
