Monetary policy involves actions by the Federal Reserve to influence the economy. Expansionary monetary policy, which includes buying bonds and lowering interest rates, aims to increase the money supply, reduce interest rates, and boost investment spending, ultimately raising aggregate demand and GDP.

As G decreases, AD decreases

As G increases, AD increase
