Question:

Why there should be sufficient foreign exchange reserves kept within a country?

Options:

To import products like petroleum

To comply with mandated requirement of the World Bank

To ensure political stability in the country

All of the above

Correct Answer:

To import products like petroleum

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1: To import products like petroleum

Sufficient foreign exchange reserves are essential for a country to pay for its imports, especially crucial goods like petroleum. These reserves are also used to stabilize the currency, pay off international debt, and maintain confidence in the country's financial system.

The reserves are not directly linked to compliance with World Bank mandates or ensuring political stability.
