A helix (pl: helixes or helices) is a type of smooth space curve, i.e. a curve in three-dimensional space. It has the property that the tangent line at any point makes a constant angle with a fixed line called the axis. Examples of helices are coil springs and the handrails of spiral staircases.
What is a 'Tight Monetary Policy'. Tight monetary policy is a course of action undertaken by the Federal Reserve to constrict spending in an economy that is seen to be growing too quickly or to curb inflation when it is rising too fast.
Monetary policy is a set of actions through. which the monetary authority determines the conditions under which it supplies the. money that circulates in the economy. Monetary policy therefore has an effect on. short-term interest rates. Setting monetary policy goals has been a defining issue for economists and. public opinion since the consolidation of central banks as the entities responsible. for providing the economies with domestic currency and for implementing monetary. policy.
