Legislative process - Congress is responsible for making enabling laws to make sure the spirit of
the constitution is upheld in the country and, at times, amend or change the constitution itself. In
order to craft laws, the legislative body comes out with two main documents:
bills and resolutions
Bill- A bill is proposed legislation under consideration by a legislature. A bill does not become law until it
is passed by the legislature as well as, in most cases, approved by the executive. Once a bill has been
enacted into law, it is called an act of the legislature, or a statute.
Resolutions
Resolutions- the act or process of resolving: such as. a : the act of analyzing a complex notion into
simpler ones. b : the act of answering : solving. c : the act of determining.
Legislative implementation in central bank- The five functions of a central bank are:
Monetary policy influences economic activity by changing the incentives for saving and investment.
This channel typically affects consumption, housing investment and business investment. Lower interest
rates on bank deposits reduce the incentives households have to save their money.
Monetary policy is implemented by the central bank.
⮚ Central banks conduct monetary policy by adjusting the supply of money, generally through
open market operations. For instance, a central bank may reduce the amount of money by
selling government bonds under a “sale and repurchase” agreement, thereby taking in money
from commercial banks.
⮚ The central bank has been described as the "lender of last resort," which means it is
responsible for providing its nation's economy with funds when commercial banks
cannot cover a supply shortage. In other words, the central bank prevents the country's
banking system from failing.
