Week ending: November 17, 1971

Growth of monetary aggregates has slowed in recent
months, although their growth so far in 1971 has been rela­
tively rapid. The money stock has risen at a 7 per cent annual
rate in the past ten months, compared with a trend growth rate
of 3.4 per cent from 1957 to 1970 (page 5). Money has increased
at only a 1.5 per cent rate the past four months, however, after
increasing at an 11 per cent rate in the previous six months.
Money stock plus net time deposits (M2) has risen at an 11 per
cent rate in the past ten months, compared with a trend rate
of 5.8 per cent from 1957 to 1970 (page 7). Over the past
four months, M2 has risen at a 4.5 per cent rate, compared
with a 17 per cent rate in the previous six months.
Member bank borrowings from Federal Reserve Banks
have declined sharply in recent months (page 12) . Borrowings
averaged about $200 million for the two weeks ending November 17,
compared with about $800 million in August. A decline in bor­
rowings subtracts from the monetary base, thus contributing to
the recent slowing in the growth of monetary aggregates. Late
last week the discount rate, which is charged on loans to mem­
ber banks from Federal Reserve Banks, was lowered at several
banks from 5 per cent to 4.75 per cent. Preceding this reduc­
tion, the discount rate was approximately the same as the
Federal funds rate, while in August the Federal funds rate
averaged about 60 basis points above the discount rate.

Data contained in this release for the
money stock and its components, the time deposit
series, and the money plus time deposit series
have been revised by the Federal Reserve to re­
flect the annual recalculation of seasonal factors
and new benchmarks for nonmember bank deposits.
The growth rate of money was revised upward by
about 1 percentage point in the past four months,
while in the previous six months the growth rate
of money was lowered by about 1 percentage point.
