Answer:

It would implement a contractionary monetary policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A contractionary monetary policy involves decreasing the money supply. Its goal is to decrease inflation (you don't want inflation to be high) by decreasing the amount of credit available and by increasing interest rates.
