AD2 is on the right - The central bank decreases the discount rate The central bank uses open market operations to conduct expansionary monetary policy The central bank increases the money supply The central bank buys bonds from private banks AD2 is on the left - The central bank sells bonds on the open market The central bank increases the required reserve ratio
