...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY Breaking away from the shackles of ‘colonialism’ (British control) the oil rich Nigeria got her independence in 1960. Having being plagued by political instability, the negative impact of a prolonged military rule, corruption, unemployment, inadequate infrastructure and poor macroeconomic management for a long period of time, the nation currently undertakes certain reforms under a new reform minded administration. Prior to the present democratic rule, Nigeria's former military rulers failed to diversify the economy away from its overdependence on the capital-intensive oil sector, which provides 20% of GDP, 95% of foreign exchange earnings, and about 80% of budgetary revenues. The largely subsistence agricultural sector has failed to keep up with rapid population growth - Nigeria is Africa's most populous country - and the country, once a large net exporter of food, now must import food. Following the signing of an IMF stand-by agreement in August 2000, Nigeria received a debt-restructuring deal from the Paris Club and a $1 billion credit from the IMF, both contingent on economic reforms. Nigeria pulled out of its IMF program in April 2002, after failing to meet spending and exchange rate targets, making it ineligible for additional debt forgiveness from the Paris Club. In 2003, the government began deregulating fuel prices, announced the privatization of the country's four oil refineries, and instituted the National Economic...

...Monetary Policy Just what is Monetary Policy? Well, dependant upon to whom the question is being posed, the answer may slightly vary, but all in all the principle itself is still the same. Monetary policies are basically practices set forth to govern and ensure the stability, and growth of our economy. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who operates the Federal Reserve System, currently enacts such policies. Obtaining economic stability and growth requires the promotion of a healthy balance between consumer spending and inflation which can be achieved by understanding the history of how and why the Federal Reserve originally came to be, the basic tools used in Monetary Policy, and the administration and regulations set forth of such policies towards banks by the Federal Reserve. Prior to the Federal Reserve System, in the 1700s -1913, a more liberal approach to banking existed in the United States. During this period the banking system had primarily consisted of a large group of unrelated and unregulated banks with unrelated currency and no medium to clear it. However, the major problems imposed upon the economy, as a result of the lack there of such needed relativity, were all relative to the one simple fact: The current banking system was not doing its job and immediate action was needed. The banks playing a major role serving as a conduit for social and economic policy at the time were unreliable, and the economy reflected just that. The bank’s depositors...

...Spring 2015 Discuss the suitability of monetary policy in stabilizing the economy. Monetary policy, to a great extent, is the management of expectations. Monetary policy rests on the relationship between the rates of interest in an economy, that is, the price at which money can be borrowed, and the total supply of money. Monetary policy uses a variety of tools to control one or both of these, to influence outcomes like economic growth, inflation, exchange rates with other currencies and unemployment. Where currency is under a monopoly of issuance, or where there is a regulated system of issuing currency through banks, which are tied to a central bank, the monetary authority has the ability to alter the money supply and thus influence the interest rate (to achieve policy goals). During the past two decades, maintenance of low inflation, price stability has become the principal focus of central banks around the world. At the same time, the view has emerged that monetary policy is better suited than fiscal policy for short-run stabilization purposes. Monetary decisions take into account a wider range of factors, such as: * Short-term interest rates; * Long-term interest rates; * Velocity of money through the economy; * Exchange rates; * Credit quality; * Bonds and equities (corporate ownership and debt); * Government versus private sector spending/savings; * International capital flows of money on large scales; * Financial derivatives...

...The Federal Reserve Bank As the United States moves towards a globally interdependent marketplace, the global monetary stakes have become much higher. The United States Congress established the Federal Reserve in the early 1900’s. A country’s debt can now become the world’s debt, and the role of the U.S. federal banking system is now considerably more under pressure and scrutiny than ever before. As we have been seeing with the current liquidity crisis in the U.S., and how it has affected U.K. and Asian markets, strong, comprehensive policy-making is now crucial to sustaining long-term economic viability. The American economy is a complex balance of services, financial, manufacturing, agricultural, and banking industries. For this reason, the U.S. is a global economy, relying upon foreign investments and trade to create and retain wealth. Over the years, America has evolved from farming-based, to industrial, to a services-based economy. As a result, the banking system from its inception has weathered the many growing pains associated with a new government and currency, instituting regulations and a centralized bank to examine the economy, and implementing policies intended to offset factors negatively affecting the general financial health of the country. Despite the growing need for quick, precise actions by the Federal Reserve System, the decision-making regarding the economy is often met with controversy. The recent bail out plan, passed by Congress...

The monetary policy has a direct impact upon aggregate demand, gross domestic product, unemployment, inflation, and interest rates. Monetary Policy and Its’ Effect on Macroeconomic Factors In earlier times traders used gold for transactions, and realized that it was inconvenient so they began to make deposits with goldsmiths. The goldsmiths provided the depositor a receipt for the value of their deposit of gold and people began to use the receipts as payments. The goldsmiths backed their receipts fully with the gold that they held in their vaults. These receipts were used as the first kind of paper money. Today, gold is no longer used as bank reserves. This was the beginning of the fractional reserve system of banking, in which reserves in bank vaults are a fraction of the total money supply. The creation of checkable deposit money by banks, limited...

...Reforms in the Indian Monetary Policy During 1990s The Monetary policy of the RBI has undergone massive changes during the economic reform period. After 1991 the Monetary policy is disassociated from the fiscal policy. Under the reform period an emphasis was given to the stable macro economic situation and low inflation policy. The major changes in the Indian Monetary policy during the decade of 1990. 1. Reduced Reserve Requirements : During 1990s both the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR) were reduced to considerable extent. The CRR was at its highest 15% plus and additional CRR of 10% was levied, however it is now reduced by 4%. The SLR is reduced form 38.5% to a minimum of 25%. 2. Increased Micro Finance : In order to strengthen the rural finance the RBI has focused more on the Self Help Group (SHG). It comprises small and marginal farmers, agriculture and non-agriculture labour, artisans and rural sections of the society. However still only 30% of the target population has been benefited. 3. Fiscal Monetary Separation : In 1994, the Government and the RBI signed an agreement through which the RBI has stopped financing the deficit in the government budget. Thus it has seperated the Monetary policy from the fiscal policy. 4. Changed Interest Rate Structure : During the 1990s, the interest rate structure was changed from its earlier administrated rates to the market oriented or liberal rate of interest.

Using an index that measures the relative policy divergence among the three trilemma policy choices, namely monetary independence, exchange rate stability, and financial openness, we find that emerging market countries have adopted trilemma policy combinations with the least degree of relative policy divergence in the last 15 years. We find that a developing or emerging market country with a higher degree of relative policy divergence is more likely to experience a currency or debt crisis. However, a developing or emerging market country with a higher degree of relative policy divergence tends to...

...bank, and it is the third central banking system in the United States’ history. The first banking system was The First Bank of the United States and the second banking system was the Second Bank of the United States. The Federal Reserve is unique in many ways, controlling, and over-seeing currency in the United States. To receive a better overstanding of the Federal Reserve System and how it works, the following questions will be topics of discussion: * What are the factors that would influence the Federal Reserve in adjusting the discount rate? * How does the discount rate affect the decisions of banks in setting their specific interest rates? * How does monetary policy aim to avoid inflation? * How does monetary policy control the money supply? * How does a stimulus program (through the money multiplier) affect the money supply? Currently, what indictors are evident that there is too much or too little money within the economy? How is monetary policy aiming to adjust this? The Discount Rate is the interest rate that the Federal Reserve Banks charge depository institutions on overnight loans. Factors that would influence the Federal Reserve in adjusting the discount rate are an increase or decrease in money supply, or if they foresee the economy heading to a recession or inflation. Banks decisions are affected by the discount rate and specific interest rates are set. For example, if the feds want to increase money supply, the interest rates are set...
