A. Higher interest rates
B. Higher growth
C. Higher inflation
D. Higher money supply


参考答案:  A


本题详细解析:

A

$\underset{‾}{\text{Explanation}}$:
A sharp fall in net exports would cause a depreciation of the currency. In order to maintain a fixed exchange rate, interest rates can be increased in order to revalue the currency by attracting inward portfolio investment.

Choices B and C are incorrect as a fall in net exports is deflationary (AD shifts left).

Choice D is incorrect as a higher money supply would cause a further depreciation by lowering interest rates, reducing inward portfolio investment, which is the opposite of what is needed in order to maintain the fixed exchange rate.
