The expansion of the real economy is the period of economic growth. An economic growth in an economy brings the availability of more goods and services. Therefore, people demand more.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

In the open market operations when the Fed purchases the bonds, it leads to increase the money supply in an economy. On the other side, in the recession period, economic activities fall down and people do not have enough money to demand for goods and services. Therefore, the demand for money will decline in the recession. This increasing supply of money and decreasing demand for money will force the interest rate to decrease in the economy. Hence, the given statement is incorrect.
