To be most effective, such operations require supportive changes in other policy instruments (reserve requirements, discount window), a competitive banking system and securities market, and adaptation of particular open market or market-type instruments used to the stage of, and potential for, market development. The paper assesses options available to a central bank for encouraging a competitive market architecture and designing instruments for implementation of open market operations UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/07486-9781451856590/07486-9781451856590/07486-9781451856590.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451856590 ER -
