L POLICY TARGETS AND OPERATING
PROCEDURES IN THE 1990S

This article focuses on the issue of how to
keep monetary policy on a path that leads to
the achievement of the objectives the monetary authorities have set for themselves,
how the process of adjusting policy to this
end has evolved over the past decade or so,
and what that evolution may mean for the
success of policy in the 1990s.

FEDERAL OPEN MARKET
COMMITTEE

At its meeting on October 3, 1989, the
Committee adopted a directive that called
for maintaining the current degree of pressure on reserve positions and that provided
for giving particular weight to potential developments that might require some slight
easing during the intermeeting period. Accordingly, slightly greater reserve restraint
might be acceptable during the intermeeting
period, while some slight lessening of reserve restraint would be acceptable, depending on progress toward price stability,
the strength of the business expansion, the
behavior of the monetary aggregates, and
developments in foreign exchange and domestic financial markets. The reserve conditions contemplated by the Committee
were expected to be consistent with growth
of M2 and M3 at annual rates of around 6V2
percent and 4V2 percent respectively over
the three-month period from September to
December. The intermeeting range for the
federal funds rate, which provides one
mechanism for initiating consultation of the
Committee when its boundaries are persistently exceeded, was left unchanged at 7 to
11 percent.

Policy Targets and Operating Procedures
in the 1990s
Donald L. Kohn, Director of the Board's Division of Monetary Affairs, prepared this article. It
was adapted from a paper he presented at the
Economic Policy Symposium sponsored by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City at Jackson
Hole, Wyoming, August 31, 1989.

treating the closely related issues of how the
central bank reacts to new information and how
it ensures consistency between its short-run policy actions and its long-run objectives.

WHY INTERMEDIATE

A presentation entitled "Policy Targets and Operating Procedures in the 1990s" could cover
many topics. What this paper will not deal with is
the ultimate targets of monetary policy. I take
that target to be price stability. Along with others
at the Federal Reserve, I believe that the price
level is the only variable that over the long run is
under the control of the central bank. Moreover,
for a variety of reasons having to do with economic inefficiencies and with the unsustainability
of other inflation goals, stability is the only
sensible objective for the price level. Nor do I
undertake the difficult task of laying out a path of
interim objectives to get from the current state of
moderate inflation to price stability.
Rather, I want to focus on the narrower issue
of how to keep policy on a path that leads to the
achievement of the objectives the monetary authorities have set for themselves, how the process of adjusting policy to this end has evolved
over the last decade or so, and what that evolution may mean for the success of policy in the
1990s.
An examination of policy targets and operating
procedures inevitably entails consideration of the
role of various intermediate targets and indicators. But I begin by examining the need for
explicit intermediate indicators between central
bank actions and their results for the price level.
Then I will discuss the reasons for the changing
status of money and credit measures in guiding
policy adjustments, and the implications of relying, instead, on various signals from financial
markets and the economy. I will conclude by




INDICATORS?

To some observers, debates about what central
banks should be looking at to guide policy decisions are superfluous. The ultimate objective is
stable prices, and these observers have advocated keying policy directly to new readings of
broad measures of inflation. In their view, either
the monetary base or the federal funds rate
should be adjusted in direct response to information that the price level is deviating from a preset
objective.
Suggestions of this sort have proliferated in
recent years. They are motivated in some cases
by frustration with alternative intermediate targets previously thought to be useful in accomplishing the same objective. In particular, this
camp has attracted some former monetarists,
who are now a little less certain of the relationship between money supply measures and spending or inflation. This greater uncertainty has
resulted from the changes in markets for deposits
and other financial assets wrought by innovation
and deregulation in the 1980s. (The implications
of these changes for the implementation of monetary policy in coming years is discussed below.)
Some academic advocates of adjusting the
monetary base or the funds rate in response to
the price level are reasoning from theories in
which monetary policy affects the path of output
only in trivial ways so that there is no reason not
to pursue price stability directly. For policy to
feed through reasonably directly into prices,
prices and wages must adapt quickly to changing
conditions in goods, labor, and financial markets.

2

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

In the United States, at least, such flexibility
very likely has increased in recent years. Deregulation of various industries, the shift away from
an industrial base characterized by relatively few
large firms and large unions toward a servicebased economy, and the greater international
integration of markets for goods and services
probably have heightened effective competition
and hence the responsiveness of wages and
prices to various influences.
But the perfectly flexible classical economy
still seems some way off. For whatever reasons—long contracts, slowly changing expectations—the adjustments the central bank makes to
the reserve base and to very short interest rates
still affect real interest and exchange rates and, in
turn, economic activity. We have seen this influence at work in recent years, when the more
rapid expansion of 1987 and 1988 and the slowdown in 1989 have seemed traceable at least
partly to the monetary policies that preceded
them.
The lags between policy actions and price
consequences appear to remain long and complex, with implications for the path of output. A
single-track policy response tied to inflation data
alone probably will produce sizable swings in the
economy. As a consequence, objectives for inflation are likely to have some side constraints
having to do with real output. These side constraints may dictate policy reactions to incoming
information on the course of the economy as well
as on prices, leading to adjustments to the desired path for inflation.
If the linkages among policy, the economy,
and prices were well enough understood, reasonably stable over time, and mostly free from
noise, they might be captured by a reliable empirical model or perhaps by judgmental forecasts.
Then the job of implementing policy might still be
straightforward: Policy adjustments, though perhaps not adhering to transparent rules of thumb,
could be calibrated from the model or judgmental
forecast, taking into account the inflation objectives and output constraints of the authorities.
Inherently, all policy depends, at least implicitly, on projections that permit policymakers to
assess the implications of a course of action. A
reliance on intermediate indicators arises out of
skepticism about forecasting exercises and out of




a desire to identify and minimize deviations from
objectives. Intermediate indicators are used
partly in an attempt to shortcut or cross-check
the projection process and possibly to discipline
policy, through prompting adjustments before
cumulative imbalances require more costly corrections. These indicators may even be elevated
to targets if they are considered sufficiently reliable. As long as forecasts are subject to substantial error and real output paths are important,
monetary policymakers are likely to rely on
indicators or targets intermediate between policy
actions and price-level effects.
It is in this area of intermediate indicators that
policy implementation has undergone its greatest
change in recent decades—an evolution that is
likely to continue into the 1990s. Some indicators, such as interest rates and exchange rates,
are elements in the transmission process, figuring
directly in spending and saving decisions. To the
extent the transmission of policy has changed, so
too have the appropriate settings and weights for
these types of indicators. Indicators in another
class—including the money and credit aggregates
—may have little independent standing as variables with direct influence on spending and production; they may, instead, be the surface manifestations of complex interactions among
savers, spenders, and intermediaries. Changes in
those interactions may call into question the
reliability of the relationships between the indicators and ultimate policy objectives.

MONEY

AND CREDIT

AGGREGATES

In the United States we have seen changes both
in the monetary aggregate that is the preferred
target or indicator and in the weight that is placed
on money and credit measures in the conduct of
policy. These shifts have reflected important
underlying developments in financial markets:
changes in the characteristics of existing financial
instruments, the creation of new instruments,
and the blurring of distinctions among financial
instruments generally. Among the factors behind
these developments have been the removal of
regulations that enforced the distinctions among
instruments and advances in technology that
have reduced the transaction costs of issuing and

Policy Targets and Operating Procedures in the 1990s

buying a variety of financial claims. These forces
not only have been at work on the financial
instruments issued in a given country, but also
have affected the relation of financial claims in
one country to those in another.
The effects of these forces on previously
distinct categories of assets are illustrated by a
variety of developments in the seventies and
eighties: Deregulation has blurred the distinction between deposits used for transactions and
those used as a store of wealth; securitization
has made loans much more like securities; in
the wake of deregulation and brokering, retail
deposits and managed liabilities at depositories
no longer are separate and distinct from one
another; the junk bond market has blurred debt
and equity; computers have permitted easy
substitution between deposits and mutual
funds; and the removal of controls on international capital movements has meant that investors can treat assets denominated in home currency and those denominated in foreign
currency more interchangeably.
Moreover, as government regulation has become less confining, the decisions of suppliers of
certain assets have become more important in
determining the outstanding quantity of those
assets. In the retail deposit markets, for example,
decisions of depository institutions about the
interest rates at which these instruments are
offered affect the willingness of the public to hold
them at given levels of income and market interest rates. Moreover, deposit-pricing strategies
appear to have changed as institutions have
adapted to deregulation, introducing substantial
uncertainty, in the short run at least, into the
relationship between the quantity of money and
movements in market rates and income. And
both supply and demand for individual financial
assets can be quite sensitive to small changes in
their own rates, relative to those on alternative
assets, given the multiplicity of close substitutes.
Internationally, the ability of capital to flow
freely across borders has broadened the choices
of borrowers and lenders. As a consequence
spending on the goods and services produced by
a particular country likely has become less dependent on the volume of claims originated or
held in that country.
In these circumstances, the boundaries around




3

specific collections of financial instruments have
become increasingly arbitrary, and monetary or
credit aggregates, however carefully delineated,
are less likely to be stably related to spending or
income. This certainly is the case for short-run
relationships; and it may also pertain, if to a
lesser extent, over the longer periods that are
relevant to the business cycle.
The experience of the United States illustrates
the erosion of the distinctions among various
types of claims, and points up the implications of
that erosion for the utility of traditional aggregations of these claims as policy indicators. In the
1960s, policymakers monitored bank credit
closely, but this aggregate was deemphasized
when open market paper became a closer substitute for bank loans as a source of funds for
businesses. In the 1980s, Ml was dropped as a
target when deregulation blurred the line between it and M2, producing greater interest sensitivity in its components and more variability in
its velocity. At the same time, the target range
for M2 was widened as the supply behavior of
banks and thrift institutions seemed to impart a
substantial short-run interest elasticity to that
aggregate as well. Moreover, substitution of debt
for equity is one of the factors disturbing the
established relation of the debt aggregate to
income.
Deregulation and the proliferation of new,
highly substitutable claims also have reduced the
effect of credit rationing as a channel for monetary policy. Deposit intermediaries now can
maintain access to funds for lending, and both
borrowers and lenders need depend less on particular types of claims or intermediaries.
At present, with the restructuring of the savings and loan industry, these hypotheses about
the diminishing value of certain financial variables and reduced credit-rationing effects are undergoing an intriguing empirical test. The solutions to the problems of savings and loans are
likely to entail fewer and smaller institutions, in
what has been the country's key mortgage intermediary. Other mortgage lenders will have to fill
the void left by this reduction in the industry's
size. On the deposit side, restructuring will almost certainly restrain the expansion of M3, and
perhaps M2 as well, depending on how successful the regulators are in beating down deposit

4

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

offering rates and thereby raising the opportunity
cost of holding M2.
Expectations about the effects of this restructuring offer an instructive contrast to the dislocations brought on by earlier episodes, when this
industry shrank through disintermediation induced by Regulation Q. Although specific real
estate markets may be affected in the current
situation, confidence in the capital markets to
rechannel funds appears to have allayed concerns about major overall effects on the housing
market and on the macro economy. Spreads
between mortgage interest rates and other rates
have widened only a bit, a development that
suggests that the demands of other investors for
mortgage instruments are elastic and that nonprice credit rationing is unlikely. Any damping of
M2 and M3 in this process would reflect a shift in
the level of velocity, and would not be a precursor of lower spending.
Although short-run variations in money and
credit may be of limited value in keying policy
adjustments in most circumstances, in certain
situations they may portend a serious disturbance in financial and goods markets, especially
when interpreted together with interest rate developments. For example, the Federal Reserve
kept especially careful track of the monetary
aggregates in the wake of the stock market
collapse in October 1987 to ascertain whether
there were unusual demands for money and, if
so, whether they might connote flight from other
financial assets or from spending. In light of the
current situation in the thrift industry, unexpected movements in credit flows or in deposits
will also be examined carefully.
Over longer periods, the net result of market
adaptations to supply and demand conditions for
financial assets may well be a stable ratio of
desired holdings of money to wealth or income.
Such stability is all the more likely now that
incentives to innovate around regulatory constraints have been removed, a removal that has
enhanced the value of persistent movements in
money supply as policy signals. In this regard,
the recently published study relating M2 and
prices—the so-called P* model—was encouraging. The study suggested that a reasonably robust
long-run relationship between money and prices
has persisted despite the changes in M2 in the




1980s. Since, as the cliche has it, the long run is
a collection of short runs, even short-run variations in an aggregate may yield some information
on the long-run thrust of policy, though one may
be skeptical of the short-run inflation forecasts
produced by a model as simplified as P*. Translating between the short and the long runs is
unlikely to be simple, however, in part because
of the short-run interest elasticity imparted by
the supply behavior of depositories. For example, 2Vi to 3 percent growth in M2 may be the
steady state associated with price stability, but,
in light of the complex interactions among
money, interest rates, and spending, gradual
reductions may be far from the best way to
achieve this objective. Overall, money and credit
aggregates probably will continue to play an
important role in policy in the 1990s; but that role
is more likely to be the supporting one of the late
1980s, keyed to sustained, appreciable deviations
from long-term objectives, than the romantic
lead of the late 1970s and early 1980s, when
relatively small month-to-month movements
were allowed to influence reserve markets.

INTEREST AND EXCHANGE RATES
ECONOMIC AND PRICE DATA

AND

As attention to the monetary aggregates has
lessened, policy implementation has had to rely
more on inferences from the price axis in the
financial markets and signals directly from the
economy and from prices. The difficulties with
attention to interest rate levels as intermediate
indicators of the effect of policy and the course of
the economy are well known. They include differentiating nominal from real rates and distinguishing the effects on rates of shifting demands
for money and credit in response to developments in the economy from those caused by bank
actions. Particular levels of nominal interest
rates can be consistent with either accelerating or
decelerating inflation, depending on the relationship of the real rate to its equilibrium level. In the
past, when short-term objectives for interest
rates as the proximate targets for policy were
combined with attention to the most recent economic data, which respond to policy actions only
with a delay, too often the results were a policy

Policy Targets and Operating Procedures in the 1990s

that tended to lag developments, moving initially
both too little and too late and ultimately overstaying.
That danger remains, though it is one policymakers are aware of. It may be reduced to an
extent by the recent emphasis on a variety of
financial market variables, such as yield curves
and exchange rates, that incorporate market expectations about future levels of real interest
rates and inflation. In particular, these variables
are likely to send clear signals if policy is perceived to be deflationary or inflationary because
it is seen as keeping real interest rates substantially above or below equilibrium levels. In this
regard they help to address one of the serious
deficiencies of emphasis on nominal rate levels.
Developments in financial markets may have
enhanced the usefulness of such indicators in
recent years. The internationalization of financial
flows and the increasing interdependence of national economies would of themselves naturally
lend the exchange rate greater prominence in
policy deliberations. But beyond this, the proliferation of financial instruments and the greater
use of futures and options markets for risk shifting probably have reduced the influence of sector-specific supply and demand conditions on
interest and exchange rates and have increased
the response of asset prices to underlying fundamentals, including price expectations. These
changes have taken place as economic analysis
has placed greater emphasis on the influence of
forward-looking expectations on economic decisions. As a consequence, policymakers have
become increasingly sensitized to the importance
of information that may be embedded in interest
and exchange rate relations.
Several caveats are in order. First, like nominal interest rates, yield curves and exchange
rates reflect many influences besides judgments
about the course of the economy and prices. For
example, a yield curve that is downward-sloping,
especially at the shorter maturities, may simply
embody an expectation that the Federal Reserve
is about to ease, not necessarily that such an
easing will be stabilizing to the economy. And
yield curves still may respond to changes in
relative supplies of various kinds of paper as well
as to shifting perceptions of liquidity risk. Likewise, the exchange rate is subject to develop-




5

ments abroad, as well as to short-run changes in
expectations or perceptions that may have little
to do with longer-run economic forces. More
generally, many asset markets appear to exhibit
more volatility than can be explained by changes
in fundamental determinants of asset prices. Under these circumstances, adjusting monetary policy in response to short-run variations in individual interest rates or in their relative levels or in
foreign exchange rates may in the end destabilize, rather than stabilize, the economy.
But the most serious deficiency of these indicators is that they provide little, if any, guidance
for achieving specific inflation objectives. At
best, the exchange rate would anchor the home
inflation rate over time to those of major trading
partners and competitors. Adjusting policy in
accord with the market's interest rate expectations—that is, operating to flatten the yield
curve—would tend only to lock in the expected
rate of inflation built into that curve.
In theory, policymakers could achieve their
inflation objectives by designing a course for the
economy that would bring about the desired
pressures on resources and on the rate of change
of prices. In practice, doing that would require an
accurate estimate of the economy's potential, a
thorough understanding of the transmission and
inflation processes, and reliable forecasts of the
response of the economy to monetary policy and
other forces. Such a policy would necessarily
involve tolerating movements in exchange rates
and changes in the slope of the yield curve in the
transition period as output was adjusted relative
to potential. In general, a central bank must take
account of the real economic effects of its actions; but it is in both economic and political
trouble when specific goals for the economy
become the enduring focus of its attention.
Among other things, the focus on the real economy in the context of an active discretionary
policy probably accentuates the well-known
temptation to cheat on the side of a little more
output.
In this sense, the monetarists are right: Policy
reaction and implementation need something to
keep these temptations at bay. Unfortunately,
the monetary aggregates no longer seem to fulfill
that requirement except in a long-term context,
in which they may indeed check the worst mis-

6

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

takes and excesses. Moreover, as I indicated at
the outset, simple reaction rules linked to broad
price measures also seem to fall short in the face
of uncertainties about lags and side constraints
on output.
Commodity prices have been offered to fill this
gap. Because they are unconstrained by longterm contracts, commodity prices are said to
react more quickly to fundamental developments, short-circuiting some of the lags, and
therefore the cyclical uncertainties, inherent in
broad price measures. While commodity prices,
too, contain valuable information for the policymaker, whether they belong at the center of
policy implementation remains to be proven.
There are the familiar issues of accounting for
supply shocks, choosing the market basket, and
assessing the reliability of such prices as forecasters of the aggregate price level. In addition,
establishing a target level for the commodity
basket is a problem. As the British discovered in
the 1920s, this is not a trivial exercise—and it is
the level that needs to be tied down. Movements
in commodity prices cannot be interpreted without reference to an equilibrium level. Rising
prices might suggest an easy policy if they were
occurring above equilibrium. But they might
suggest that policy was tight if commodity prices
had been driven below their equilibrium level by
that policy; in that case, increases in commodity
prices would be needed to equalize returns with
the high real rates on financial assets. Ultimately,
one suspects, commodity prices will take their
place in that eclectic mix of indicators that have
keyed policy recently and that are likely to
continue to do so in the 1990s.

POLICY REACTIONS
OBJECTIVES

AND

LONG-RUN

As the 1990s open, then, policymakers are reacting to information from a wide variety of sources,
making frequent adjustments of the stance of
policy in reserve markets when the evidence
suggests that the existing posture is inconsistent
with their longer-run objectives. No one indicator, nor any one small set of indicators, dominates this policy-adjustment process. Indeed, the
whole intermediate indicator/target paradigm




may not be very useful. Realistically, policy
cannot afford to lose any information about the
complex relationships in the economy. Signals
from financial and foreign exchange markets, and
from the domestic economy and foreign economies, all need to be filtered for clues about where
the economy and the price level are headed
relative to the objectives for policy. Casting the
net wide is especially important when the underlying relationships among financial and economic
variables seem to be evolving in ways that are
not easy to predict.
It seems likely that operations by the monetary
authority will continue to involve frequent policy
adjustments in response to new information.
Such adjustments need not connote unsteadiness
of purpose, or an excessively activist hand on the
wheel, or an attempt to "fine tune" the economy
in the sense of trying to achieve an outcome with
unrealistic precision. Instead, they may be rational responses to changing indications about
economic trends contained in the new data,
which prompt small but frequent adjustments in
instrument variables to keep the economy and
prices on a track consistent with ultimate objectives.
This type of operating system does involve
difficulties, among which is filtering signal from
noise. Given the difficulties of interpreting new
data and the possibility of later revisions, unnecessary policy adjustments likely will be made. As
long as policy remains flexible and mistakes are
quickly recognized and corrected, unnecessary
adjustments should remain a minor problem.
Deviations from the optimal policy path that are
kept small and short-lived will have little effect
on the ultimate outcome.
The greater danger of a policy that relies on
frequent adjustments of nominal interest rates to
incoming data is insufficient attention to long-run
policy objectives. I have already noted the tendency in the past for policy that involves this
type of procedure to react too little and too late.
But that tendency has not always been symmetrical. Emphasis on the level of nominal interest
rates in connection with information on the real
economy has at times tended to impart an inflationary bias to policy. Given the lag between
policy and the price level, such a focus in the
context of an active discretionary policy may

Policy Targets and Operating Procedures in the 1990s

lead to attempts to achieve higher output levels
than are consistent with stable prices.
In that regard, recent experience is mildly
encouraging. Though inflation remains well
above the long-term objective of price stability, it
has accelerated only a little even as the U.S.
economy has enjoyed an unprecedented peacetime expansion. Many factors account for this
performance, including good fortune and greater
flexibility in price and wage setting.
But monetary policy may also have played a
role. Leaning fairly hard against the wind and
being willing to shift policy promptly when the
wind shifts appear to have forestalled the buildup
of excesses and imbalances, so that the economy
has remained in the neighborhood of its potential
and inflation has stayed within a fairly narrow
range. And to the extent that this outcome has
reinforced the credibility of the Federal Reserve's
anti-inflation policy, it may, by restraining inflation expectations, by itself have contributed to
price performance that has been better than expected. The factors underlying this behavior by
the Federal Reserve include a number of the
elements previously discussed, no one of which
seems adequate to the task of exerting longerterm discipline within the current policy regime.
First is some attention to movements in price
indexes, despite the inherently backward-looking
nature of these indexes. The monetary authority
has clearly stated its intention to achieve price
stability and has emphasized the importance it
places on this objective. Although it has neither
set a timetable nor established an automatic
disciplining device, it has created for itself the
burden of explaining sustained deviations from
intentions. Such deviations would raise questions about its true intentions that would put an
authority concerned about its reputation on the
defensive.




7

The second factor underlying Federal Reserve
policy that imposes discipline is the heightened
sensitivity of expectations-driven variables, including yield curves, exchange rates, and commodity prices. At a minimum, these variables
help the policymaker judge when market participants consider that conditions are ripe for significant movements in inflation rates. Thus, from
these indicators policymakers may be able to
infer the credibility that the markets accord their
anti-inflation objectives.
The last such factor is the continued attention
to the monetary aggregates. Although they may
not be good guides to short-run policy, the aggregates appear to maintain their longer-run relationships to spending and inflation. Sustained
very rapid or very slow growth in the aggregates
has continued to play a role in keying policy
adjustments.
Taken together, these factors have tended to
limit the distance and the duration of deviations
of monetary policy from actions consistent with,
at the least, its not straying far from its long-run
objective. They have imposed some discipline on
the task of adjusting reserve conditions and nominal short-term interest rates.
As the 1990s begin, the challenge to policy is to
strengthen the elements that supply long-run
discipline, without sacrificing the flexibility to
adapt policy to changing conditions and to consider the consequences of policy actions for
output and employment. Sufficient attention to
reputation, to market expectations of inflation,
and to trend money growth should help to ensure
progress toward price stability in coming years.
We should make certain that in ten years, were
we to consider monetary policy in the new century, we would be able to report that the decade
of the 1990s, like the 1980s, ended with inflation
lower than when it began.

Treasury and Federal Reserve
Foreign Exchange Operations
This quarterly report, covering the period August
through October 1989, provides information on
Treasury and System foreign exchange operations. It was presented by Sam Y. Cross, Manager of Foreign Operations of the System Open
Market Account and Executive Vice President in
charge of the Foreign Group of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York. George G. Bentley
was primarily responsible for preparation of the
report.1
During the first half of the August-October reporting period, the dollar came under renewed
upward pressure in the face of strong investment
inflows. In response, the U.S. monetary authorities intervened to sell dollars in keeping with
Group of Seven (G-7) policy commitments to
foster exchange rate stability. The dollar reached
its highs of the period in mid-September. It then
moved sharply lower after the G-7 statement of
September 23 expressed concern over the dollar's rise, and persistent coordinated intervention
operations followed. Toward the end of the period, the dollar traded in a relatively narrow
range. Demand for dollars moderated as a result
of a narrowing of interest rate differentials favoring dollar assets and of concerns over volatility in
U.S. equity markets. However, investment interest continued to provide some support at lower
levels.
The dollar ended the August-October reporting period Vi percent higher on a trade-weighted
basis in terms of other Group of Ten (G-10)
currencies as measured by the staff of the Board
of Governors. Against individual currencies,
however, the dollar's performance varied considerably. On balance, the dollar declined VA per1. The charts for the report are available on request from

Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.




cent against the German mark and Vi percent
against the Canadian dollar while rising 4lA percent against the Japanese yen and 5Vi percent
against the British pound.
During the three-month period, the U.S. monetary authorities sold a total of $5,871 million
between August and early October, of which
$3,289 million was against Japanese yen and
$2,582 million was against German marks. These
operations were conducted in coordination with
foreign central banks, (table 1).

THE DOLLAR 'S RISE FROM EARLY
TO MID-SEPTEMBER

AUGUST

As the period opened, market participants were
still apprehensive that the U.S. economy might

nomic growth and price pressures by easing
monetary policy, and the dollar declined. On
August 1, Chairman Greenspan confirmed in
Senate testimony that the Federal Reserve had
modestly eased its stance the previous week. On
the same day, several leading banks cut their
prime lending rates. The perception thereby
strengthened in the market that U.S. interest
rates were steadily declining and that favorable
dollar interest rate differentials would continue to
narrow. The dollar then moved to its lows for the
month of August of DM1.8430 against the mark •
and ¥135.50 against the yen on August 2.
The dollar's softer tone was short-lived. Economic data released in early August alleviated
the market's earlier concerns regarding the severity of an economic slowdown. The prospects
of another imminent easing by the Federal Reserve appeared to fade after employment data
released on August 4 showed a sharp upward
revision in June nonfarm payrolls and continued
employment growth for July. The release of
figures on August 11 showing buoyant retail sales
in July made the possibility of an easing appear
even less likely. In addition, the monthly U.S.
trade reports released in both August and September suggested that the U.S. trade performance was continuing to improve.
In this environment, commercial and investment demand for dollars revived, and the dollar
was buoyant through mid-September. On September 15, after the announcement that the July U.S.
trade deficit had narrowed unexpectedly to $7.58
billion, the dollar surged briefly to its highs of the
three-month period of DM2.0032 and ¥148.98, up
roughly IVi percent and 83/4 percent respectively
from the closing rates of the previous reporting
period. At these levels, the dollar was trading near
the highs reached earlier in the year. Later that
same day, when it appeared that the dollar would
not move any higher, dealers began to take profits
on long-dollar positions, triggering stop-loss orders, and a sudden decline in the dollar ensued.
Although sentiment toward the dollar remained
positive for quite a while afterwards, the episode
revealed a vulnerability for the dollar at these
higher levels.
During much of September, the U.S. monetary authorities again intervened in coordination with those of several other countries to




resist upward pressure on the dollar. After
mid-September, moreover, with the approaching G-7 meeting in Washington on September
23, the market became increasingly wary that
more aggressive official action might be introduced to curb the dollar's strength, either
through intervention or through monetary policy adjustments. The dollar then drifted down
to close at DM1.9520 and ¥146.00 on September 22, the Friday before the weekend G-7
meeting.
Accordingly, between August 1 and September 22, the U.S. monetary authorities sold a total
of $1,452 million against marks and $1,699 million against yen. The operations became more
frequent as upward pressure on the dollar intensified. During the first ten days of August, the
U.S. authorities intervened only once, selling $70
million against yen. During the remainder of
August, the U.S. monetary authorities sold dollars on six days for a total of $425 million against
marks and $525 million against yen. The authorities entered the market more frequently after the
beginning of September, intervening on eleven of
the fifteen business days leading up to the G-7
meeting to sell a total of $1,027 million against
marks and $1,104 million against yen.

DOLLAR DEMAND
LATE SEPTEMBER

MODERATES AFTER THE
G-7 MEETING

After their meeting on Saturday, September 23,
the G-7 finance ministers and governors issued a
statement concluding, among other things, that
the dollar's rise in recent months was inconsistent with longer-run economic fundamentals and
that a further rise of the dollar above thencurrent levels or an excessive decline could
adversely affect prospects for the world economy. The ministers and governors also expressed their intention to cooperate closely in
exchange markets.
On the strength of the G-7 statement and
official intervention to reinforce that statement,
the dollar moved lower in Asian trading on
Monday, September 25. The fact that the U.S.
monetary authorities, along with others, were
selling dollars in the Tokyo market sent a signal
of the firmness of the G-7 resolve. In the days

10 Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

immediately after the statement, the G-7 monetary authorities persisted with their intervention.
By October 2, the dollar had declined to
DM1.8650 and ¥138.60, about 5 percent lower
than its closing levels on September 22. For the
next eight business days, the dollar was again
well bid, showing a tendency to recover from its
October 2 levels. Subsequently, as the authorities continued to intervene to resist the dollar's
rise, market participants appeared more reconciled to the possibility that the dollar's uptrend
might finally have been broken. In total, from
September 25 through October 12, the U.S.
monetary authorities sold $1,130 million against
marks and $1,590 million against yen, operating
on most days in that period.

THE LATTER

HALF OF

OCTOBER

As mid-October approached, upward pressure
on the dollar lessened. For the balance of the
three-month period, the dollar remained below
the mid-September highs.
One factor contributing to the easing of upward pressure was that interest rate differentials
favoring the dollar narrowed further in October
as a result of interest rate increases abroad.
German market interest rates had begun edging
higher in late September as dealers anticipated
possible increases in the Bundesbank's official
rates. On October 5, the Bundesbank announced
an increase of a full 1 percentage point in both its
discount and Lombard rates, surprising the market with the magnitude of the increase. The
British, French, Swiss, Belgian, Dutch, Danish,
Irish, and Austrian monetary authorities followed by raising their official rates. The following
week, the Bank of Japan surprised the market by
raising its discount rate Vi percentage point on
October 11, and short-term market interest rates
in Japan increased approximately 75 basis points
within the span of a week.
Around this time, market participants also
began to expect favorable interest rate differentials to diminish further because of an easing of
monetary policy in the United States. Many
observers viewed economic reports, particularly
the September U.S. employment data released
on October 6, as a sign that U.S. economic




activity was sluggish enough to warrant a new
move to lower U.S. interest rates. During the
second week of October, the federal funds rate
moved lower, and by midmonth, market participants concluded that the Federal Reserve had
indeed eased.
Although interest rate differentials favoring the
dollar had been narrowing throughout most of
1989 without any apparent negative effect on
dollar exchange rates, the moves that occurred in
October were sufficient to induce a moderation in
capital inflows to the United States. By this time,
interest rates in Germany had risen to levels that
were almost as high as those in the United States.
At the same time, as asset prices both in the
United States and in foreign markets continued
to adjust to the changing interest rate and economic assessments, questions arose about the
continued strength of certain capital markets—
markets that had attracted investors because of
either high yields or the prospect of sharp capital
gains. Against this background, the sharp decline
in U.S. equity prices on October 13 revived
concerns that heavy foreign investment in the
United States might be discouraged and that the
Federal Reserve might ease even more quickly or
aggressively than previously supposed.
The October 17 release of data showing a sharp
deterioration in the U.S. trade position in August
also served to reduce upward pressure on the
dollar, as it highlighted the dangers of a further
rise in the U.S. currency and reminded the
market of the continuing need to correct the
current account imbalances.
Although the dollar's overall tone remained
considerably softer late in the period, the dollar
continued to receive some support from investment demand, particularly by Japanese entities,
through the end of the three-month period. The
dollar closed the quarterly period at DM1.8415
against the mark and ¥142.85 against the yen.
With the dollar generally trading more narrowly in the latter part of the reporting period,
markets tended to focus more on developments
abroad, and the dollar's performance against
individual currencies varied considerably. The
dollar's decline against the mark was particularly pronounced, as the German currency benefited not only from the rise in German interest
rates but more broadly from a growing sense of

confidence in Germany's economic performance and prospects. Buoyant demand, high
levels of capacity utilization, and reports of
high wage demands from German labor unions
seemed to indicate that interest rates would
remain firm and economic growth strong. The
process of reform just beginning to unfold in
Eastern Europe and the inflow of East German
immigrants were seen to promise longer-term
benefits for the West German economy, although there was considerable uncertainty
about the short run.
Against the yen, conversely, the dollar showed
a somewhat greater tendency to rise as actual
and anticipated Japanese capital outflows kept
the yen under downward pressure against most
other major currencies. Japanese investor demand for dollars, which had helped support the
dollar throughout 1989, reflected a high Japanese
domestic saving rate, ample domestic liquidity,
and a perception that domestic assets were relatively expensive. The United States was seen as
having a good long-term investment environment
and as providing sufficient opportunities to absorb a large pool of Japanese savings.

Against sterling, the dollar traded relatively
firmly throughout most of the three-month period as market participants became increasingly
concerned about the outlook for the U.K. economy. Despite the fact that high British interest
rates were raising worries about a recession,
many analysts felt that the progress in curbing
inflation and redressing external imbalances
had been too slow. Market uncertainty regarding the future direction of U.K. economic policy was compounded by the perception that the
U.K. authorities were divided on basic issues.
For the three months as a whole, the U.S.
monetary authorities sold $5,871 million. The
U.S. Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund
(ESF) and the Federal Reserve System participated equally in these operations. To finance a
portion of its share, the ESF "warehoused"
$3,000 million equivalent of foreign currencies
with the Federal Reserve, bringing the total of
warehoused funds to $7,000 million equivalent.
In other operations, on September 21, the

of Spain, agreed to provide a short-term credit
facility totaling $2,000 million to the Bank of
Mexico. The Federal Reserve's share in the
facility was $825 million, of which the first $700
million was to be provided under the existing
reciprocal swap line with Mexico and the remaining $125 million under a separate swap
agreement (table 2). The ESF's share was $425
million, provided under a special swap arrangement. On September 25, Mexico drew $784.1




million from the Federal Reserve's portion and
$384.1 million from the ESF's portion of the
facility (table 3).
Also during the period, Bolivia repaid in full on
September 15 its $100 million outstanding commitment on the short-term financing facility established with the ESF. Subsequently, the Treasury agreed to provide a new $100 million
facility, and on September 22, Bolivia drew $75
million (table 3).
As of the end of October, cumulative bookkeeping or valuations gains on outstanding foreign currency balances were $1,366.5 million for
the Federal Reserve and $870.3 million (the second figure includes valuation gains on warehoused funds) for the ESF (table 4). These valuation gains represent the increase in the dollar
value of outstanding currency assets valued at
end-of-period exchange rates, compared with the
rates prevailing at the time the foreign currencies
were acquired.
The Federal Reserve and the ESF regularly
invest their foreign currency balances in a variety of instruments that yield market-related
rates of return and that have a high degree of
quality and liquidity. A portion of the balances
is invested in securities issued by foreign governments. As of the end of October, holdings of
such securities by the Federal Reserve
amounted to $6,746.5 million equivalent, and
holdings by the Treasury amounted to the
equivalent of $7,475.7 million.

Industrial Production
Released for publication November 14
Industrial production fell 0.7 percent in October
after having been unchanged in September (revised). The October decline largely reflected a
strike in the aircraft and parts industry and some
disruptions in production, particularly in computers and related parts, resulting from the recent earthquake in California. Excluding these

effects, the total index would have been nearly
unchanged in October, continuing its recent sluggish trend. At 141.4 percent of the 1977 average,
the total index in October was 1.4 percent higher
than it was a year earlier. Manufacturing output
declined 0.8 percent, and capacity utilization in
manufacturing, at 82.8 percent, was about 1
percentage point below the September level.

have been about unchanged; manufacturing
equipment and business vehicles remained weak,
but most other sectors posted gains.
Production of construction supplies rose in October, but has changed little, on balance, since the
beginning of the year. Output of materials fell 0.5
percent in October. Production of parts for consumer durables declined sharply again, owing to
the weakness in motor vehicles; the strike also
directly curtailed the production of aircraft parts.
Output of chemical materials was reduced for the
third successive month; some of the October
decline resulted from the explosion of a major
plant in Texas. Energy materials were about unchanged as coal production rose again, but crude
oil extraction declined.
In industry groups within manufacturing, production of durables fell 1.5 percent in October,
owing mainly to the large drop in transportation
equipment. In addition, output of primary metals,
particularly nonferrous metals, and fabricated
metal products, fell further. Among nondurables,
output of both textiles and apparel remained
weak, but paper production, which has changed
little, on average, in recent months, rose in October. Output of mining was flat in October, while
production at utilities rose 0.5 percent.

Announcements
FEDERAL RESERVE
FOR 1990

BANK

FEE

SCHEDULES

The Federal Reserve Board announced on November 2, 1989, the 1990 fee schedules for services provided by the Reserve Banks. The majority of the 1990 fees are the same as those
currently imposed, and they generally become
effective January 1, 1990.
The fee schedules apply to check collection,
automated clearinghouse transactions, wire
transfer of funds and net settlement, definitive
safekeeping, noncash collection, book-entry securities, and electronic connections to the Federal Reserve. The 1990 fee schedules are available from the Reserve Banks.
In 1990, total costs for priced services, including the private sector adjustment factor (PSAF),
are projected to be $750.6 million. Total revenue
is estimated at $755.9 million, resulting in a 100.7
percent recovery rate. The fees for 1990 are
based on total costs, including the PSAF but
excluding special project costs.
At the same time, the Board approved the 1990
PSAF for Reserve Bank priced services of $79.4
million, an increase of $9.7 million, or 13.9
percent, from the $69.7 million targeted for 1989.
The PSAF is an allowance for the taxes that
would have been paid and the return on capital
that would have been provided had the Federal
Reserve's priced services been furnished by a
private business firm.

ENFORCEMENT
PROCEEDINGS:
ISSUANCE OF FINAL ORDERS

The Federal Reserve Board announced on September 25, 1989, the issuance of a Consent
Cease and Desist Order and Consent Assessment of Civil Money Penalty as to the National
Bank of Greece and the National Mortgage
Bank of Greece.




The Consent Order is in settlement of enforcement proceedings instituted by the Board because of alleged unsafe and unsound practices
and alleged violations of law and regulation that
generally arose out of the receipt of deposits by
representative offices of the National Mortgage
Bank in New York and in three other states.
The National Mortgage Bank of Greece, without admitting any of the allegations in the proceeding, agreed to pay a fine of $2 million. The
National Bank of Greece, without admitting any
of the allegations in the proceeding, agreed to
pay a fine of $125,000.
The Federal Reserve Board announced on
October 31, 1989, the issuance, on October 30,
1989, of an Order of Prohibition against Bruce F.
Dailey, the former chairman of the board of
directors of the First Security Bank of Missoula,
Missoula, Montana, in settlement of an enforcement action instituted against him.
In an enforcement proceeding, the Board contended that Mr. Dailey misappropriated at least
$100,000 from the bank, while he was the chairman of its board, through the use of false loan
documents. Without admitting any allegations
made by the Board, Mr. Dailey consented to the
issuance of the Order of Prohibition. Mr. Dailey
is henceforth prohibited from participating, including serving as an officer, director, or employee, in any manner in the conduct of the
affairs of any financial institution supervised by a
federal financial institutions supervisory agency
without the approval of the appropriate federal
banking agencies.

Record of Policy Actions
of the Federal Open Market Committee
MEETING

HELD ON OCTOBER 3,

Domestic

Policy

1989

Directive

The information reviewed at this meeting suggested that economic activity continued to expand at a moderate pace in the third quarter and
that rates of resource utilization remained at
relatively high levels. Aggregate final demand
appeared to be well sustained by a pickup in
consumption at a time of somewhat reduced
growth in business fixed investment. At the same
time, price inflation had slowed, in large part
because of a steep drop in energy costs and a
continuing decline in prices of non-oil imports;
wage data evidenced no deviation from recent
trends.
Growth in total nonfarm payroll employment
slowed noticeably in July and August from the
pace of the second quarter. Nevertheless,
adjusted for the depressing effects of strike activity, job gains remained appreciable on balance. Hiring was brisk in construction, trade,
and services; in manufacturing industries,
though, employment levels generally held steady
or fell a bit, apart from temporary fluctuations in
the auto industry. The civilian unemployment
rate remained around 5lA percent.
Industrial production rose in August, and revisions for earlier months suggested that the expansion of production had not been as weak as
previously estimated. Much of the August gain
reflected a rebound in automobile production
after three months of decline and a pickup in coal
mining as striking coal miners returned to work.
Output of consumer goods other than autos
edged down in August with small but widespread
declines in nondurable goods. Despite a sizable
jump in operating rates for coal mining, total
industrial capacity utilization was unchanged in
August at a relatively high level. In manufac-




turing, factory utilization edged further below its
January peak, partly as a result of additional
declines in primary processing industries, such
as paper and chemicals, where utilization had
been very high.
Consumer spending rose substantially in August, following a July increase that was somewhat larger than the sluggish gains of previous
months. Much of the August pickup reflected a
surge in outlays for cars and light trucks, but
gains in spending for goods and services other
than motor vehicles also appeared to be running
somewhat above the relatively sluggish pace for
the second quarter. Housing starts in July and
August were slightly higher than their secondquarter average, and sales of new homes picked
up noticeably in July. However, building permits had shown no discernible trend in recent
months.
Recent indicators of business capital spending
suggested somewhat slower growth in the third
quarter after a substantial increase in the first half
of the year. In July and August, shipments of
nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft were
only a little above the second-quarter level, and
orders data suggested a further slowing in growth
of spending in coming months. In July, office
building remained a notable area of weakness in
nonresidential construction and partially offset
another strong rise in outlays for industrial structures. Inventory investment in manufacturing
moderated in August after a sizable increase in
July, with much of the increase in both months
occurring at aircraft firms. In July, stocks also
rose markedly at manufacturers of primary metals and of many types of machinery; the buildup
at these industries, like that at aircraft firms, was
concentrated in work-in-process. Excluding motor vehicles and aircraft, manufacturing stocks
remained at relatively low levels compared with
shipments. At the retail level, increases in inven-

18 Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

tories slowed in July and imbalances with sales
remained limited.
The nominal U.S. merchandise trade deficit
recorded a further decline in July relative to
June and to the average for the second quarter
as a whole. Exports in July fell below their
strong June level and were little changed from
the second-quarter average. While most categories of exports fell, deliveries of civilian aircraft
increased sharply. Imports registered a further
decline in July, as decreases in most categories
of non-oil goods outweighed a small rise in the
value of oil imports. Economic growth in the
major foreign industrial countries slowed
sharply in the second quarter from the very
rapid rate of the first quarter, but this pattern
appeared to be due largely to special factors
rather than to a slackening of the underlying
pace of activity.
Producer prices of finished goods declined in
August for the third consecutive month, reflecting a further large drop in consumer energy
prices; for the July-August period, price increases for nonfood, non-energy finished goods
moderated from the pace of earlier months of the
year. At earlier processing stages, prices of intermediate materials other than food and energy
edged down further in August and had registered
little net change over the previous six months,
while prices of crude nonfood materials other
than energy turned up after four months of
declines. Consumer prices were unchanged in
August following a small increase in July. Sharp
reductions in energy prices and smaller increases
for food items helped damp the rise in consumer
prices in July and August, but prices for other
consumer goods also rose more slowly. Average
hourly earnings slipped a little in August after a
sizable jump in the previous month, but on a
year-over-year basis this decline did not indicate
a change in trend.
At its meeting on August 22, the Committee
adopted a directive that called for maintaining
the current degree of pressure on reserve positions and that provided for giving special weight
to potential developments that might require
some slight easing during the intermeeting period. The Committee agreed that, in furtherance
of the ultimate achievement of price stability,
primary weight in considering the need for inter-




meeting changes in reserve conditions would
continue to be given to the inflation outlook.
Slightly greater reserve restraint might, or
slightly lesser reserve restraint would, be acceptable in the intermeeting period depending on
progress toward price stability, the strength of
the business expansion, the behavior of the monetary aggregates, and developments in foreign
exchange and domestic financial markets. The
contemplated reserve conditions were expected
to be consistent with growth of M2 and M3 over
the period from June through September at annual rates of about 9 and 7 percent respectively.
Reserve conditions remained essentially unchanged over the period since the August meeting. Adjustment plus seasonal borrowing averaged about $550 million for the two full reserve
maintenance periods since the meeting, and federal funds traded mostly in the narrow range
around 9 percent that had prevailed since late
July. With federal funds rates steady and economic data released over the intermeeting period
generally in line with market expectations, other
interest rates changed little on balance over the
intermeeting period. Some softening in interest
rates took place through mid-September, owing
at least partly to a market view that an easing of
monetary policy might be in the offing given the
strengthening dollar, but when the dollar subsequently declined against other G-10 currencies,
interest rates generally rebounded. Most stock
market indexes reached record highs in early
September but partially retraced their increases
as problems emerged in the "junk bond" market
for a few prominent issuers.
In foreign exchange markets, the tradeweighted value of the dollar in terms of the other
G-10 currencies rose substantially early in the
intermeeting period; better-than-expected U.S.
job growth in August and U.S. trade data for July
outweighed the effects of a slight decline in U.S.
interest rates and some increase in rates abroad.
The dollar fell sharply after the release on September 23 of the G-7 statement that the rise of the
dollar in recent months was inconsistent with
longer-run fundamentals, and the ensuing coordinated central-bank intervention in exchange
markets. Also contributing to the slippage of the
dollar were growing market expectations of some
tightening of monetary policies abroad. On bal-

Record of Policy Actions of the Federal Open Market Committee

ance, the dollar depreciated somewhat over the
intermeeting period.
Growth of the monetary aggregates slowed in
August from their advanced July rates, which
likely had been boosted by the replenishment of
balances used to pay taxes last spring; their
slower growth evidently carried over to September. Despite its deceleration, M2 still grew fairly
briskly in August and apparently also in September, bringing its expansion thus far this year to
somewhat above the lower end of the Committee's annual range. Continued rapid growth of
the retail components of M2 reflected in part the
lagged effects of earlier declines in market interest rates. M3 increased at a substantially reduced
pace over the August-September period, and it
had expanded for the year to date at a rate
around the lower bound of the Committee's
annual range. The sluggish growth of M3 apparently was related in part to the declining needs of
savings and loan associations for managed-liability funds; undercapitalized institutions were
shrinking their balance sheets as a means of
complying with new, more stringent capital standards, and insolvent institutions were receiving
funds from the Resolution Trust Corporation
(RTC).
The staff projection prepared for this meeting
suggested that the nonfarm economy was likely
to grow over the remainder of 1989 at about the
pace estimated for the first half of the year but
that the expansion would slow in 1990. The
projection assumed that fiscal policy would remain moderately restrictive and that the contribution of foreign trade to growth would be very
limited, owing in part to the earlier appreciation
of the dollar. Consumer demand was expected to
be bolstered in the near term by continued
growth in labor income and the positive effect on
real purchasing power of the recent slowing of
price increases, but over the rest of the projection period steadily mounting slack in labor markets would exert a restraining effect on real
income and consumer demand. Declines in interest rates earlier in the year were expected to
provide some temporary stimulus to residential
construction activity over the next quarter or so.
Expansion in business capital spending was projected to moderate substantially over the projection period from the pace in the first half of the




19

year as output growth slowed, capacity pressures
eased, and profits eroded. The recent weakening
in food and energy prices pointed to a slower rise
in consumer prices for the next few quarters;
however, with margins of unutilized labor and
other production resources still low, the underlying trend in inflation was not expected to show
much improvement.
In the Committee's discussion of the economic
situation and outlook, members commented that
current indicators of business activity, including
economic conditions in different parts of the
country, presented a somewhat mixed picture.
On the whole, however, members generally
viewed the evidence as pointing to sustained
expansion over the next several quarters, though
many expected economic growth to slow somewhat from its recent pace. In assessing the
chances of a different outcome, the members did
not rule out the possibility of a slightly stronger
economic performance, but they generally felt
that the risks were tilted toward marginally
greater slowing and a few expressed concern that
a more pronounced weakening could emerge.
With regard to the outlook for inflation, many
commented that, given moderate economic
growth and a sustained period of monetary restraint, underlying inflationary pressures were
likely to ease a little over the next several quarters, but some anticipated somewhat greater
progress in reducing inflation. Concern was expressed by some, however, that wage-cost pressures might intensify. The members agreed that
progress against inflation would depend importantly on the behavior of the dollar in foreign
exchange markets; a very substantial decline in
the value of the dollar would put upward pressure on prices and make achievement of the
Committee's price stability objective correspondingly more difficult.
With regard to developments in specific sectors of the economy, members commented that a
key uncertainty in the business outlook related to
the prospects for capital expenditures. Growth in
such spending had slowed from a very high rate
in the first half of the year, and it was not clear
from the recent data whether business investment was weakening further or whether its
growth had stabilized at a reduced pace. New
orders for capital equipment had softened, but

20

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

order backlogs remained substantial and suggested continued high levels of production for
many firms. On the other hand, indications of
declining business profits together with the financial difficulties of a number of firms pointed to
more restrained investment spending. The key to
actual capital spending, of course, would be the
evolving demand for goods and services and in
that regard consumer spending, while subject to
some volatility stemming especially from purchases of motor vehicles, was likely to continue
to provide support for sustained growth. Business inventories, with some notable exceptions
such as stocks of motor vehicles, were reported
to be at acceptable levels and were not likely to
contribute to wide swings in production unless
final demands differed greatly from current expectations. The members were more uncertain
about the outlook for housing and net exports. In
the housing sector, considerable weakness had
emerged in several parts of the country, and
some members questioned whether any improvement could be expected over the next several
quarters even though interest rates had fallen
since last spring. With regard to the prospects for
foreign trade, the dollar's appreciation this year
had retarded improvement in the trade balance
and, barring a substantial real depreciation, was
expected to continue to do so for some time. It
was presumed that fiscal policy would remain
moderately restrictive, but that there would be
no dramatic turn in the federal budget deficit of
the sort that would substantially reduce demand
pressures in the domestic economy while accommodating significant improvement in the trade
deficit.
In the Committee's discussion of the outlook
for inflation, members observed that the recent
improvement largely reflected a number of special factors—such as developments in the food
and energy sectors and the appreciation of the
dollar this year—that could not be projected to
recur. Several saw only limited prospects for
further improvement over the year ahead, given
their expectations with regard to the overall
performance of the economy and related pressures on resources. Others felt that the behavior
of prices and wages might continue to be better
than had been expected. They noted that reduced
monetary growth over an extended period was




continuing to restrain inflationary pressures and
that the economy also was benefiting from ongoing cost-reducing measures induced by strong
competition in domestic and international markets. A tendency for the prices of many commodities and intermediate materials to soften, if only
marginally, also supported a relatively optimistic
outlook for inflation. Moreover, there was a
continuing pattern of restraint in labor settlements despite tight labor markets in many areas.
Reflecting demographic factors, upward pressures on wages tended to be concentrated on
entry-level jobs, while pressures in many of the
more skilled job categories appeared to have
diminished in various parts of the country. However, some members expressed concern that
faster wage increases remained a threat, especially if the economy continued to operate at
levels close to its potential.
In the Committee's discussion of monetary
policy for the intermeeting period ahead, most of
the members endorsed a proposal to maintain
unchanged conditions of reserve availability and
preferred or found acceptable a suggestion to
retain the asymmetry toward ease that was incorporated in the latest directive. While noting
that developments in the near term might alter
the economic outlook, most members felt that
prevailing conditions in the domestic economy
did not warrant a policy change in either direction at this time. The focus of policy continued to
be that of gradually reducing inflation over time
and a steady policy course seemed consistent
with that objective, at least for now.
Members also were concerned that an easing
of policy so soon after the G-7 meeting would be
misinterpreted as an attempt to use monetary
policy to force the dollar lower. While the dollar
was an important factor influencing the course of
the U.S. economy and prices, monetary policy
should not be used, in the judgment of the
Committee, to attain particular levels for the
foreign exchange value of the dollar that could
conflict with domestic policy objectives. In current circumstances, an easing might well provoke
an undesirable sharp decline in the external value
of the dollar. The members also discussed the
recent substantial intervention by G-7 and other
nations against the dollar. Some members expressed concern that if this intervention resulted

Record of Policy Actions of the Federal Open Market Committee

in a sizable depreciation of the dollar, the inflationary consequences could be viewed as inconsistent with the Committee's long-run policy of
achieving price stability.
In further discussion of an appropriate course
for monetary policy, the Committee took account of a staff analysis that suggested that, on
the assumption of unchanged conditions of reserve availability and steady interest rates, M2
growth would moderate somewhat over the balance of the year from its rapid pace in recent
months; nonetheless, growth of this aggregate
would continue to be supported to some extent
by the lagged effects of earlier declines in market
interest rates on the opportunity costs of holding
M2 balances, and on a cumulative basis M2 was
projected to rise somewhat further within the
lower half of the Committee's range for the year.
The expansion of M3 was expected to continue
to be damped, though to a reduced extent, in the
fourth quarter by further reductions in the assets
and M3 liabilities of undercapitalized thrift institutions and by RTC outlays that substituted in
part for managed liabilities in M3; by year-end,
this aggregate was projected to be a little above
the lower bound of the Committee's range. The
pickup in the growth of money and reserve
aggregates since around midyear and the projected expansion of the broad money aggregates
within the Committee's ranges for the year were
cited as welcome developments that were consistent with the Committee's overall policy objectives.
In the Committee's consideration of possible
adjustments in the degree of reserve pressure
during the intermeeting period, a majority of the
members supported a proposal to adjust operations more readily toward some easing than
toward any firming. In the view of these members, the risks to the expansion were more
heavily weighted toward a shortfall from current
expectations than toward faster growth and
greater inflationary pressures. Members who
preferred a symmetrical instruction generally
saw the risks to the economy as more evenly
balanced, and some observed that the present
dollar situation warranted extra caution before
any easing was undertaken; however, a bias
toward ease would not involve any change from
the current directive and most of these members




21

indicated that they could accept such an instruction.
It was noted in further discussion that seasonal
borrowing was likely to drop in the weeks ahead,
so that a declining total of adjustment plus seasonal borrowing would be associated with a
given degree of reserve restraint and a given
federal funds rate. It was understood that, subject to the Chairman's review, the necessary
technical reductions in borrowing objectives
would be made during the intermeeting period.
At the conclusion of the Committee's discussion, all but two of the members indicated that
they preferred or could accept a directive that
called for maintaining the current degree of
pressure on reserve positions and that provided
for giving particular weight to potential developments that might require some slight easing
during the intermeeting period. Accordingly,
slightly greater reserve restraint might be acceptable during the intermeeting period, while
some slight lessening of reserve restraint would
be acceptable, depending on progress toward
price stability, the strength of the business
expansion, the behavior of the monetary aggregates, and developments in foreign exchange
and domestic financial markets. The reserve
conditions contemplated by the Committee
were expected to be consistent with growth of
M2 and M3 at annual rates of around 6V2
percent and AVi percent respectively over the
three-month period from September to December. The intermeeting range for the federal
funds rate, which provides one mechanism for
initiating consultation of the Committee when
its boundaries are persistently exceeded, was
left unchanged at 7 to 11 percent.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the following
domestic policy directive was issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York:
The information reviewed at this meeting suggests
that economic activity continued to expand at a moderate pace in the third quarter. In July and August,
total nonfarm payroll employment rose appreciably
despite the depressing effect of strike activity. The
civilian unemployment rate remained around 5'A percent. Industrial production picked up in August,
mainly because of a rebound in auto assemblies and
coal mining. Consumer spending has registered larger
gains in recent months, reflecting in part a surge in
auto sales. Housing starts in July and August were

22

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

slightly above their second-quarter average. Indicators
of business capital spending suggest somewhat slower
growth in the third quarter after the substantial increase in the first half of the year. The nominal U.S.
merchandise trade deficit recorded a further decline in
July relative to June and to the average for the second
quarter as a whole. Sharp reductions in energy prices
over the summer months damped increases in consumer prices and contributed to declines in producer
prices. The latest wage data suggest no change in
prevailing trends.
Interest rates generally show small mixed changes
on balance since the Committee meeting on August 22.
In foreign exchange markets, the trade-weighted value
of the dollar in terms of the other G-10 currencies fell
after the release of the G-7 statement on September 23;
on balance, the dollar depreciated somewhat over the
intermeeting period.
M2 grew fairly briskly in August and evidently also in
September, lifting its expansion thus far this year to
somewhat above the lower end of the Committee's
annual range. M3 grew at a substantially reduced pace
in this period, as assets of thrift institutions and their
associated funding needs apparently contracted further;
for the year to date, M3 has grown at a rate around the
lower bound of the Committee's annual range.
The Federal Open Market Committee seeks monetary and financial conditions that will foster price stability, promote growth in output on a sustainable basis,
and contribute to an improved pattern of international
transactions. In furtherance of these objectives, the
Committee at its meeting in July reaffirmed the ranges it
had established in February for growth of M2 and M3 of
3 to 7 percent and 3V2 to IVz percent, respectively,
measured from the fourth quarter of 1988 to the fourth
quarter of 1989. The monitoring range for growth of
total domestic nonfinancial debt also was maintained at
6!/2 to IOV2 percent for the year. For 1990, on a tentative
basis, the Committee agreed in July to use the same
ranges as in 1989 for growth in each of the monetary
aggregates and debt, measured from the fourth quarter
of 1989 to the fourth quarter of 1990. The behavior of
the monetary aggregates will continue to be evaluated
in the light of movements in their velocities, developments in the economy and financial markets, and progress toward price level stability.




In the implementation of policy for the immediate
future, the Committee seeks to maintain the existing
degree of pressure on reserve positions. Taking
account of progress toward price stability, the
strength of the business expansion, the behavior of
the monetary aggregates, and developments in foreign exchange and domestic financial markets,
slightly greater reserve restraint might or slightly
lesser reserve restraint would be acceptable in the
intermeeting period. The contemplated reserve conditions are expected to be consistent with growth of
M2 and M3 over the period from September through
December at annual rates of about 6V2 and AVi
percent, respectively. The Chairman may call for
Committee consultation if it appears to the Manager
for Domestic Operations that reserve conditions during the period before the next meeting are likely to be
associated with a federal funds rate persistently
outside a range of 7 to 11 percent.
Votes for this action: Messrs. Greenspan, Corrigan, Angell, Johnson, Keehn, Kelley, LaWare,
Melzer, and Syron. Votes against this action: Mr.
Guffey and Ms. Seger.
Mr. Guffey favored an unchanged policy for
the period ahead, but he dissented because he
could not support a directive that was biased
toward easing during the intermeeting period. He
remained concerned that the rate of inflation
would continue to be undesirably high.
Ms. Seger dissented because she felt that some
easing of monetary policy was desirable at this
time. In her view developments in manufacturing, notably in the motor vehicles sector,
along with potential softness in capital expenditures, housing construction, and exports signaled
a weaker overall economy. In the circumstances,
she believed that an easier monetary policy was
needed to help sustain the expansion and that
such a policy would be consistent with continuing progress in reducing the rate of inflation.

ORDERS ISSUED UNDER BANK
COMPANY ACT

HOLDING

Orders Issued Under Section 3 of the Bank
Holding Company Act
Center Financial Corporation
Waterbury, Connecticut
Order Denying Formation of a Bank Holding
Company
Center Financial Corporation, Waterbury, Connecticut ("Center Financial"), has applied pursuant to
section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act
(the "BHC Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1842(a)(1), to become
a bank holding company by acquiring all of the voting
shares of Centerbank, Waterbury, Connecticut
("Centerbank"), as well as all of the voting shares of
Burritt InterFinancial Bancorporation, New Britain,
Connecticut ("Burritt"). Both Centerbank and Burritt are state-chartered FDIC-insured savings banks
and, by virtue of these acquisitions, Center Financial
would become a savings bank holding company
pursuant to sections 2(1) and 2(m) of the BHC Act,
12 U.S.C. § 1841(1) and (m).
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (54 Federal Register 11,278 (1989)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received in light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of
the BHC Act.
Centerbank is the 11th largest institution among
commercial banks and savings banks in Connecticut
with deposits of $1.3 billion, representing 2.0 percent
of total deposits in such institutions in the state,
while Burritt is the 24th largest institution among
commercial banks and savings banks in the state with
deposits of $536.0 million, representing less than one
percent of total deposits in such institutions in the
state. 1 Upon consummation of this transaction, Cen-

1. Statewide deposit data are as of June 30, 1989.




ter Financial would become the ninth largest institution among commercial banks and savings banks in
Connecticut with deposits of $1.8 billion, representing 2.8 percent of total deposits in such institutions in
the state. Consummation of the proposed transaction
would not have a significantly adverse effect upon
existing or probable future competition in any other
relevant banking market. 2
In evaluating this application, the Board is required, under section 3 of the BHC Act, to consider
the financial and managerial resources of Center
Financial, Centerbank, and Burritt, and the effect of
the proposed acquisition on the future prospects of
each organization.
The Board previously has stated that a bank holding company should serve as a source of financial and
managerial strength to its subsidiary banks, and that
the Board would closely examine the condition of an
applicant and its subsidiaries in each case with this
consideration in mind. 3 The Board views with concern any proposal involving a major expenditure of
funds for expansion that could limit a bank holding
company's ability to serve as a source of strength to
its subsidiary banks. 4 Accordingly, the Board expects organizations contemplating significant expansion to be in satisfactory financial condition.

2. The only market in which Centerbank and Burritt both compete is the Hartford banking market. The Hartford banking market
is approximated by Hartford County and parts of Tolland, Middlesex, Litchfield, Windham, and N e w London Counties, all of Connecticut.
As of June 30, 1988, Centerbank is the 57th largest institution
among commercial banks and savings banks in the Hartford banking
market with deposits of $4.4 million, representing less than one
percent of total deposits held by such institutions in the market.
Burritt is the tenth largest institution among commercial banks and
savings banks in the market with deposits of $487.8 million, representing 5.6 percent of total deposits held by such institutions in the
market. Upon consummation of this transaction, Center Financial
would become the ninth largest institution among commercial banks
and savings banks in this market with deposits of $492.2 million,
representing 5.6 percent of total deposits held by such institutions in
this market. Upon consummation of this transaction, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index for the Hartford banking market would increase by less than one point to 838.

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

Based upon a review of the available data concerning the financial condition of Center Financial and
Centerbank, the Board is unable to conclude that
Centerbank's current and pro forma financial condition supports approval. Center Financial proposes to
fund its acquisition of Burritt entirely with cash
obtained through a substantial dividend payment
from Centerbank. Center Financial has not projected
that any equity capital would be issued either as part
of this proposal or at any time through year-end 1990.
These demands upon the earnings of Centerbank and
upon Center Financial's resources could unduly
weaken Center Financial and limit its ability to
respond to present and prospective needs of its
proposed subsidiary banks. Recently, Centerbank's
rate of profitability has declined and is now below
those for comparably sized banks. In addition, the
performance of Centerbank's loan portfolio has been
adversely affected by the weakening of real estate
markets in its operating region and elsewhere.
Based upon the facts of record in this case, the
Board believes that the proposed acquisition would
substantially lessen the ability of Center Financial to
serve as a source of strength to Centerbank and
Burritt, and therefore is not in the public interest.
Additionally, this proposal raises concerns regarding
the future prospects of Center Financial and its subsidiaries. Accordingly, based upon all the facts of
record of this case, the Board finds that financial
considerations are not consistent with approval of this
application.
Managerial factors and convenience and needs considerations in this case do not lend sufficient weight to
warrant approval.
Based upon the foregoing and other facts of record,
the Board concludes that the banking considerations
involved in this proposal present adverse factors bearing upon the financial resources and future prospects
of Center Financial, Centerbank, and Burritt. Such
adverse factors are not outweighed by any pro-competitive effects, by significant benefits that would
better serve the convenience and needs of the community, or by other public benefits. Accordingly, it is the
Board's judgment that approval of the application
would not be in the public interest, and that the
application should be, and hereby is, denied.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
November 27, 1989.

voting: Chairman Greenspan.

Associate Secretary of the Board

Deposit Guaranty Corporation
Jackson, Mississippi
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank Holding
Company
Deposit Guaranty Corporation, Jackson, Mississippi
("DGC"), a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act (the "BHC
Act"), has applied for Board approval under section 3
of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1842) to acquire Commercial National Corporation, Shreveport, Louisiana
("CNC"), and thereby to acquire indirectly CNC's
subsidiary bank, Commercial National Bank in
Shreveport, Shreveport, Louisiana ("Bank"). 1
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (54 Federal Register 35,246 (1989)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the application and all comments received in light of the factors set forth in section 3(c) of
the BHC Act.
Section 3(d) of the BHC Act, the Douglas Amendment, prohibits the Board from approving an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of
any bank located outside of the holding company's
home state,2 unless such acquisition is "specifically
authorized by the statute laws of the State in which
[the] bank is located, by language to that effect and not
merely by implication." Louisiana law permits the
acquisition of a Louisiana bank or bank holding company by a bank holding company located in any state
whose laws permit a Louisiana bank or bank holding
company to acquire a bank or bank holding company
in that state.3 The Board has determined previously
that a Mississippi bank holding company may acquire
a bank holding company in Louisiana.4 Based on the
foregoing, the Board has determined that the proposed
acquisition is specifically authorized by the statute
laws of Louisiana and that Board approval of the
proposal is not barred by the Douglas Amendment.
DGC is the largest commercial banking organization
in Mississippi, controlling approximately $2.8 billion
in deposits, representing 17.3 percent of the total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the

1. In connection with this application, DGC proposes to form CNC
Acquisition, Inc., for the purpose of merging with CNC and thereby
indirectly acquiring Bank.
2. A bank holding company's home state is that state in which the
operations of the bank holding company's banking subsidiaries were
principally conducted on July 1, 1966, or the date on which the
company became a bank holding company, whichever is later. DGC's
home state is Mississippi.

state.5 CNC is the fifth largest commercial banking
organization in Louisiana, controlling approximately
$885.7 million in deposits, representing 2.9 percent of
the total deposits in commercial banking organizations
in the state. Consummation of this proposal would not
have a significant adverse effect on concentration of
banking resources in either state.
DGC and CNC do not compete directly in any
banking market. Consummation of this proposal
would not have a significant adverse effect on actual or
potential competition in any relevant banking market.
In evaluating this application, the Board has considered the financial and managerial resources of DGC
and the effect on those resources of the proposed
acquisition. The Board has stated and continues to
believe that capital adequacy is an important factor in
the analysis of bank holding company expansion
proposals.6 In this regard, the Board has stated that it
expects banking organizations contemplating expansion proposals to maintain strong capital levels substantially above the minimum levels specified in the
Board's Capital Adequacy Guidelines7 without significant reliance on intangibles, in particular goodwill.
The Board carefully analyzes the effect of expansion
proposals on the preservation or achievement of
strong capital levels and has adopted a policy that
there should be no significant diminution of financial
strength below these levels for the purpose of effecting
major expansion proposals.8
DGC proposes to acquire all of the outstanding
common shares of CNC stock through an exchange of
shares and will not incur any debt as a result of this
acquisition. Although the proposal will result in a
decline in the capital ratios of DGC, DGC will remain
well capitalized, following consummation of the proposal, with capital ratios significantly above the minimum levels specified in the Board's Capital Adequacy
Guidelines. In light of DGC's financial and managerial
resources, CNC's future prospects should be materially enhanced. Accordingly, based on these and all of
the other facts of record, the Board concludes that

restored their capital to preacquisition levels following consummation
of the proposals and have implemented programs of capital improvement to raise capital significantly above minimum levels. See, e.g.,
Citicorp, 72 Federal Reserve Bulletin 726 (1986); Security Pacific
Corporation, 72 Federal Reserve Bulletin 800 (1986).

financial and managerial considerations are consistent
with approval of this application.
In considering the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served, the Board has taken into
account the record of DGC and its bank subsidiary
under the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA")
(12 U.S.C. § 2901 et seq.). The CRA requires that
federal financial supervisory agencies encourage financial institutions to help meet the credit needs of the
local communities in which they operate, consistent
with the safe and sound operation of such institutions.
To accomplish this end, the CRA requires the appropriate federal supervisory authority to assess the institution's record of meeting low- and moderate-income
neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound
operation of the institutions.9 The Board is required to
"take such record into account in its evaluation" of
applications under section 3 of the BHC Act. 10
The Board has carefully reviewed the CRA performance record of DGC's subsidiary bank in light of the
CRA and the Board's Agency CRA Statement.11 The
Agency CRA Statement provides guidance regarding
the types of policies and procedures that the supervisory agencies believe financial institutions should have
in place in order to fulfill their responsibilities under
the CRA on an ongoing basis and the procedures that
the supervisory agencies will use during the application process to review an institution's CRA compliance and performance.
Initially, the Board notes in this case that Deposit
Guaranty National Bank ("DGN Bank") received a
satisfactory CRA assessment from its primary supervisory agency in its most recent examination. In
addition, DGN Bank has in place the types of programs outlined in the Agency CRA Statement as
essential to an effective CRA program. The CRA
program implemented by DGN Bank has a community
outreach component that calls for ongoing community
contact regarding the needs of the community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, and the

9. 12 U.S.C. § 2903.
10. In this regard, following the expiration of the public comment
period in this case, the Board received comments filed by the Jackson
CRA Coalition, Jackson, Mississippi ("Protestant"), alleging that
DGC has not provided an adequate analysis of the credit needs of its
community and that DGC has not provided adequate business or
mortgage loans to the low-income and minority areas of Jackson.
Under the Board's Rules of Procedure, the Board is not required to
consider comments received following the close of the public comment period. 12 C.F.R. 262.3(e). See also Statement of the Federal
Financial Supervisory Agencies Regarding the Community Reinvestment Act (March 21, 1989) ("Agency CRA Statement"). The Board,
in its discretion, may consider the substance of any comments
received regarding an application. The Board's consideration of the
CRA performance record in this case included review of the adequacy
of the banking organization's lending and outreach efforts, which were
the subject of Protestant's comments in this case.

products and services that the bank offers to meet
these needs. DGN Bank also uses specialized marketing efforts to ensure that all segments of the community are aware of its services. For example, DGN
Bank regularly uses minority-owned media to reach
minority segments of the community.
DGN Bank has established a CRA Compliance
Officer Network within its banking system. Each CRA
Officer has responsibility for a CRA Activity Report
that is made monthly and forwarded through the CRA
Regional Captain to the Community Affairs Officer in
Jackson, Mississippi. The Community Affairs Officer
briefs the DGN Bank's board of directors quarterly on
CRA matters.
DGN Bank is an active provider of home improvement loans in minority areas. DGN Bank also participates in small business lending in low- and moderateincome areas and has participated in federal programs
to increase the housing available to the elderly and
low- and moderate-income families. In addition, DGN
Bank also hired consultants to survey its communities
and to devise methods for increasing DGN Bank's
marketing and lending in low- and moderate-income
communities. DGN Bank has implemented several of
the recommendations from the survey, including increased advertising and product development to meet
the needs of minorities in DGN Bank's service area
and hosts seminars on small-business financing and
consumer finance issues. Several of the recently implemented programs are similar to the programs
sought by Protestant.
Based upon the overall CRA record of DGN Bank
and other facts of record, the Board concludes that
convenience and needs considerations, including the
record of performance under the CRA of DGC's
subsidiary bank, are consistent with approval of this
application.12

12. Protestant has requested a public meeting or hearing on the
applications to provide testimony on the issues presented by these
applications. Although section 3(b) of the BHC Act does not require a
public meeting or hearing in this instance, the Board may, in its
discretion, order a public meeting or hearing. See 12 C.F.R. 262.3(e).
In that regard, the Board's Rules of Procedure provide that a public
meeting may be held to clarify factual issues related to an application
or to provide an opportunity for interested persons to testify.
12 C.F.R. 262.25(d). In addition, under the provisions of the Board's
Regulation Y, 12 C.F.R. 225.23(g), the Board shall order a hearing
only if there are disputed issues of material fact that cannot be
resolved in some other manner.
The Board has carefully considered Protestant's requests for a
public meeting or hearing. In the Board's view, the parties have had
ample opportunity to present their arguments in writing. In light of
these facts, the Board has determined that a public meeting or hearing
is not necessary to clarify the factual record in these applications, or
otherwise warranted in this case. Accordingly, the Protestant's request for a public meeting or hearing on these applications is hereby
denied.




Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the application should be,
and hereby is, approved.
The acquisition of CNC shall not be consummated
before the thirtieth calendar day following the effective
date of this Order, or later than three months after the
effect date of this Order, unless such period is extended for good cause by the Board or by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Atlanta, acting pursuant to delegated
authority.

J.P. Morgan & Company Incorporated
New York, New York
Order Approving Application to Act as Agent in the
Private Placement of All Types of Securities and Act
as Riskless Principal in Buying and Selling
Securities
J.P. Morgan & Company Incorporated, New York,
New York ("Morgan"), a bank holding company
within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company
Act ("BHC Act"), has applied for the Board's
approval under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section 225.23 of the
Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.23), for its
subsidiary, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., New York,
New York ("Company"), to act as agent in the
private placement of all types of securities, including
providing related advisory services, and to buy and
sell all types of securities on the order of investors as
a "riskless principal". Some of the proposed services are currently being offered by Morgan's lead
subsidiary bank.
Morgan, with consolidated assets of $99.9 billion,
is the third largest banking organization in the United
States. 1 It operates two subsidiary banks and engages directly and through subsidiaries in a broad
range of nonbanking activities, including engaging
through Company in underwriting and dealing in, to

a limited extent, certain securities.2 Company is and
will continue to be a broker-dealer registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and subject
to the record-keeping, reporting, fiduciary standards,
and other requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, the New York Stock Exchange and the
National Association of Securities Dealers.
Notice of the application, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments on the proposal, has been published (54 Federal Register 16,406
(1989)). The time for filing comments has expired, and
the Board has considered the application and all
comments received in light of the public interest
factors set forth in section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act. The
Board received written comments opposing the application from the Securities Industry Association
("SIA"), a trade association of the investment banking industry, and the Investment Company Institute
("ICI"), a trade association of the mutual fund
industry.3
Because Company would be affiliated through common ownership with a member bank, Company may
not be "engaged principally" in underwriting or dealing in securities within the meaning of section 20 of the
Banking Act of 1933 (the "Glass-Steagall Act"). 4 In
earlier decisions, the Board has determined that Company is not "engaged principally" in section 20 activities if revenues from underwriting and dealing in
securities that banks are not authorized to underwrite
and deal in directly ("ineligible securities") do not
exceed 10 percent of Company's gross revenues.
In its recent Bankers Trust decision, the Board
determined that acting as agent in the private placement of securities and purchasing and selling securities
on the order of investors as a "riskless principal" do

3. The comments of the ICI were received substantially after the
close of the comment period prescribed in the notice of this application and therefore are not required to be considered by the Board. In
any event, the ICI has objected to Morgan's proposal to the extent
that it could be construed to seek approval for Company to privately
place securities of investment companies that are sponsored or
advised by Company or Morgan. Morgan has not requested approval
to place such securities.
4. Section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act (12 U . S . C . § 377) provides that " . . . no member bank shall be affiliated . . . with any . . .
organization engaged principally in the issue, flotation, underwriting, public sale, or distribution at wholesale or retail or through
syndicate participation of stocks, bonds, debentures, notes, or other
securities. . . . "

not constitute underwriting and dealing in securities
for purposes of section 20 of the Glass-Steagall Act,
and therefore revenue derived from these activities is
not subject to the 10 percent revenue limitation on
ineligible securities underwriting and dealing.5 Except
as described below, the methods and procedures Company will use in conducting its private placement and
riskless principal activities will be consistent with
those approved in the Bankers Trust decision.
Additionally, in that decision the Board found that,
subject to a number of prudential limitations that
address the potential for conflicts of interests, unsound
banking practices or other adverse effects, private
placement and riskless principal activities were so
closely related to banking as to be a proper incident
thereto within the meaning of section 4(c)(8) of the
BHC Act. Morgan has committed that Company will
conduct its private placement and riskless principal
activities subject to all of the prudential limitations
agreed to by Bankers Trust with the following
exceptions. 6
Specifically, Morgan has not agreed to conditions in
the prior decision that restrict 1) extensions of credit
by the bank holding company or any of its affiliates to
pay the principal amount of, or interest on, securities
placed by the section 20 subsidiary; and 2) purchases
for their own account by the parent holding company
and other nonbank affiliates of section 20 subsidiaries
of securities being placed by the section 20
subsidiary.7 These conditions were established by the
Board to ensure that the objectivity and sound judgment of banks and other affiliates of section 20 subsidiaries would not be impaired by the placement or
underwriting profit that the section 20 subsidiary
would receive for marketing the securities.
Morgan has proposed to have its affiliated banks
extend credit to an issuer whose debt securities have

5. Bankers Trust New York Corporation,
75 Federal
Reserve
Bulletin 829 (Order dated October 30, 1989) ("Bankers Trust").
6. The SIA argues that the fact that Morgan is proposing that
Company privately place all types of securities, as opposed to only
high grade commercial paper notes as had been previously approved
by the Board, is significant in assessing the applicability of the
Glass-Steagall Act prohibitions in this case. See Statement
Concerning Applicability of the Glass-Steagall
Act to the Commercial
Paper
Placement Activities of Bankers Trust Company (June 4, 1985); and
Securities Industry Association v. Board of Governors, 807 F.2d 1052
(D.C. Cir. 1986), cert, denied, 483 U.S. 1005 (1987) ("Bankers Trust
II"). The Board considered this argument in Bankers Trust and noted
that because the Board and the Bankers Trust II court clearly
recognized that commercial paper is a security for purposes of the
Glass-Steagall Act, the fact that Bankers Trust (or in this case,
Morgan) wishes to privately place all types of securities in a manner
similar to that used in the commercial paper case, would not, by itself,
change the activity into underwriting and dealing.
7. Morgan has agreed to consult with Federal Reserve staff before
transferring its private placement and riskless principal activities from
Company to any other nonbank subsidiary of Morgan to assure that
none of the firewall provisions committed to is evaded by the transfer.

28

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

been placed by the section 20 subsidiary where the
proceeds would be used to pay the principal amount of
the securities at maturity. Morgan has stated that such
transactions may be appropriate if, at the time the
securities mature, it were more advantageous to the
issuer to obtain financing from the bank rather than to
reissue the securities.
In situations where the decision to extend credit to
an issuer of securities placed by the section 20 subsidiary to repay the principal amount of the securities at
maturity is made at a different time than when the
securities are actually being placed, the likelihood that
the decision to extend credit would be influenced by
any promotional incentive associated with the placement activity would be minimized, especially in the
case of longer term securities. Since the decision
whether to extend credit in this situation would not be
made while the securities are being marketed, the
likelihood that the bank would not exercise independent judgment in assessing the creditworthiness of the
issuer in light of all relevant circumstances at the time
would be lessened. The bank's credit decisions, moreover, can be closely scrutinized through the examination process. In addition, many of these credit transactions could be subject to the requirements of section
23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which provides that
certain types of transactions between a bank and a
nonbank affiliate must be on an arms' length basis.8
While it is not entirely clear that section 23B will apply
to all of these credit transactions, the Board expects
that the standards set out in that section will nevertheless be complied with.
Accordingly, the Board believes that it is appropriate to allow banks affiliated with section 20 subsidiaries or other nonbank affiliates to extend credit to an
issuer to repay the principal amount of the securities,
provided there is some reasonable time difference
between the placement of the securities and the decision to extend credit,9 and provided the extensions of
credit meet prudent and objective standards. The
Board conditions its decision with regard to these
extensions of credit on the requirement that Morgan's
subsidiary banks or other affiliates maintain detailed
and clearly identified credit and collateral documentation so that examiners may determine that a thorough,
objective and independent analysis of the credit has
been undertaken. In addition, documentation must be
maintained to show that the participation by a bank or
thrift affiliate in the transaction has been undertaken
under circumstances and on terms and conditions

8. 12 U.S.C. § 371c-l.
9. In the Board's view, this requirement will be satisfied if at the
time the extension of credit is made, a period of at least three years has
elapsed from the time of the placement of the securities.




(including pricing, minimum borrower cash flow-todebt service or collateral requirements, or repayment
terms) that are not preferential and that fully reflect the
risks associated with the loan, as required under
section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. The Federal
Reserve Bank of New York will closely review loan
documentation of bank affiliates to ensure that an
independent and thorough credit evaluation has been
undertaken with respect to the participation of the
bank in these credit extensions to issuers of securities
privately placed by an agent affiliated with the bank.
With respect to the affiliate purchase restriction,
Morgan has also proposed to have Company place
securities with its parent holding company or with a
nonbank subsidiary of the parent company. 10 In this
regard, the Board notes that banks that currently place
securities do place them with the parent company or
other nonbank affiliates. No particular supervisory
problem has to date arisen from such investments. In
addition, since purchases of securities will not be
made by the affiliated bank, the possibility that losses
as a result of these investments will adversely affect
the federal safety net protecting the bank is minimized.
Accordingly, the Board believes that it is appropriate to allow Company to place securities with its
parent holding company or a nonbank affiliate. The
Board recognizes that the potential for certain conflicts of interest may be increased if affiliates were to
purchase the entire issue of securities placed by the
section 20 subsidiary or a substantial portion of such
an issue. The Board therefore believes that it is
appropriate to require that affiliates of the section 20
subsidiary limit their investment, both individually and
in the aggregate, in any particular issue of securities
that are placed by the section 20 subsidiary. The Board
expects that Morgan will establish appropriate internal
policies, procedures, and limitations regarding the
amount of securities of any particular issue placed by
Company that may be purchased by Morgan and each
of its nonbanking subsidiaries, individually and in the
aggregate.11 These policies and procedures, as well as
the purchases themselves, will be reviewed by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

10. Under current legal restrictions, member banks cannot generally
purchase securities privately placed by an affiliate. This is because
member banks are prohibited from acquiring any equity securities or
unmarketable debt securities, i.e., those that cannot be resold because
of SEC private placement restrictions. See 12 U.S.C. §§ 24(Seventh)
and 335.
11. This limit should be less than 50 percent of the issue being
placed. Additionally, in the development of these policies and procedures, Morgan should incorporate, with respect to placements of
securities, the limitations established by the Board in condition 12 of
its J.P. Morgan et al. Order regarding aggregate exposure of the
holding company on a consolidated basis to any single customer
whose securities are underwritten or dealt in by Company.

Legal Developments

In sum, the record shows that under the framework
established in this and prior decisions, consummation
of this proposal is not likely to result in any significant
undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interest, unsound banking
practices, or other adverse effects.
Consummation of this proposal would provide
greater efficiencies and added convenience to Morgan's customers by allowing consolidation of a wider
range of services in a single entity. Accordingly, the
Board has determined that the performance of the
proposed activities by Morgan can reasonably be
expected to produce public benefits which would
outweigh adverse effects under the proper incident to
banking standard of section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act.
Based on the above, the Board has determined to
approve Morgan's application subject to all of the
terms and conditions set forth above. The Board's
determination is subject to all of the conditions set
forth in the Board's Regulation Y, including those in
sections 225.4(d) and 225.23(b), and to the Board's
authority to require modification or termination of the
activities of a bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to assure
compliance with, and to prevent evasion of, the provisions of the BHC Act and the Board's regulations
and Orders issued thereunder.
This transaction shall not be consummated later
than three months after the effective date of this
Order, unless such period is extended for good cause
by the Board, or by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, pursuant to delegated authority.

The Netherlands (collectively "Applicants"), foreign
banking organizations subject to the Bank Holding
Company Act ("BHC Act"), have applied for the
Board's approval under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act
(12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) and section 225.23 of the
Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.23), to acquire
42 percent of the voting shares of DBI Holdings, Inc.,
New York, New York ("DBI"), and thereby to engage in investment advisory and securities brokerage
services pursuant to sections 225.25(b)(4) and (15) of
the Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.25(b)(4) and
(15)); to provide investment advisory and securities
brokerage services on a combined basis ("full-service
brokerage activities");1 and to buy and sell securities
on the order of investors as "riskless principal".
Notice of the applications, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
duly published (54 Federal Register 40,521 and 47,271
(1989)). The time for filing comments has expired, and
the Board has considered the applications and all
comments received in light of the public interest
factors set forth in section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act. 2
1. DBI owns Discount Brokers International, Inc., New York, New
York ("DBI-U.S."), and Discount Brokers International (U.K.) Ltd.,
London, England ("DBI-U.K."). DBI-U.K. would engage in securities brokerage services for customers outside the United States,
pursuant to section 4(c)(9) of the BHC Act and section 221.23(f)(3) of
the Board's Regulation K. Applicants have committed that DBI-U.K.
will limit its activities to those permitted for DBI's United States
subsidiaries pursuant to this Order or otherwise permitted to domestic
subsidiaries of bank holding companies under section 225.25(b) of the
Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.25(b)). DBI-U.S. currently
engages in securities brokerage activities. Applicant proposes to form
a new limited partnership, Henry Krieger/DBI, L.P., New York, New
York ("Krieger/DBI") that would succeed the businesses of DBIU.S. and of Henry Krieger & Co., New York, N e w York, a limited
partnership engaged in securities brokerage services. Krieger/DBI
would engage in investment advisory, securities brokerage, fullservice brokerage activities, and act as riskless principal.
2. The Board received a written comment opposing the riskless
principal portion of the application from the Securities Industry Association ("SIA"), a trade association of the investment banking industry.
The SIA argues that acting as a riskless principal is a form of dealing in
securities prohibited by section 20 of the Banking Act of 1933 (the
"Glass-Steagall Act") and that Applicants would be able to act as an
underwriter or dealer in the United States for securities underwritten or
traded by its foreign affiliates. The SIA further contends that acting as
riskless principal is not closely related to banking for purposes of the
BHC Act and that, in any event, the application should be denied under
the BHC Act because no public benefits would result from this activity.
For the reasons stated in Bankers Trust New York Corporation, 75
Federal Reserve Bulletin 829 (Order dated October 30,1989) ("Bankers
Trust") and J.P. Morgan & Company Incorporated, 76 Federal Reserve Bulletin 26 (Order dated November 22,1989), the Board finds that
the proposed riskless principal activity is not underwriting or dealing
securities within the meaning of section 20. Moreover, Applicants have
committed that DBI and its subsidiaries would not engage in riskless
principal transactions with, or on behalf of, Applicants or any of
Applicants' affiliates, including foreign affiliates that engage in securities dealing activities overseas. In addition, in these orders the Board
rejected the assertions of the SIA and determined that acting as a
riskless principal is closely related to banking under the BHC Act. As
indicated below, the Board has determined that the balance of public
interest factors that it must consider under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC
Act is favorable in this case.

30

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

Amro, with consolidated assets equivalent to approximately $83.5 billion, is the second largest banking
organization in The Netherlands.3 In the United
States, Applicants maintain a branch in New York and
representative offices in Chicago, Houston, and Los
Angeles. Accordingly, Applicants are subject to the
nonbanking restrictions of section 4 of the BHC Act as
a bank holding company pursuant to section 8 of the
International Banking Act of 1978. 12 U.S.C. § 3106.
The Board has previously determined by regulation
that the investment advisory services and securities
brokerage services that Applicants propose to conduct
through DBI are closely related to banking and permissible for bank holding companies.4 The Board has
also previously determined by Order that combined
investment advisory and securities brokerage services, and acting as riskless principal, are closely
related to banking and permissible for bank holding
companies, subject to certain limitations.5 For the
reasons stated in those Orders, the Board confirms
that engaging in full-service brokerage activities, and
acting as a riskless principal, within the limits described in the Board's Orders, are closely related to
banking for purposes of the BHC Act. Applicants
propose that DBI and its subsidiaries conduct these
activities subject to the requirements of the Board's
regulations and those previous Board Orders. In this
regard, DBI and its subsidiaries would not have an
inventory of securities. When acting as a riskless
principal, DBI and its subsidiaries would only engage
in transactions in the secondary market and not at the
order of a customer that is the issuer of the securities
to be sold, and would not hold themselves out as
making a market in the securities that they buy and sell
as riskless principal. Moreover, DBI and its subsidiaries would not engage in riskless principal transactions
with Applicants or any of Applicants' affiliates, including foreign affiliates that engage in securities dealing
activities overseas.
The Board must also find that the proposed acquisition "can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public . . . that outweigh the possible
adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of
interests, or unsound banking practices." 12 U.S.C.
§ 1843(c)(8). Prior decisions of the Board indicate a
concern that joint ventures could potentially lead to
a matrix of relationships between co-venturers that
could break down the legally mandated separation of

banking and commerce, create the possibility of
conflicts of interest and other adverse effects that the
BHC Act was designed to prevent, or impair or give
the appearance of impairing the ability of the banking
organization to function effectively as an independent and impartial provider of credit. 6 Further, joint
ventures must be carefully analyzed for any possible
adverse effects on competition and on the financial
condition of the banking organization involved in the
proposal.
In prior cases involving joint ventures between bank
holding companies and firms generally engaged in
securities activities not authorized for bank holding
companies, the Board has relied upon a series of
commitments to address these potential adverse effects. These commitments are designed to separate the
activities of the joint venture from those of the nonbanking co-venturers. See
Amsterdam-Rotterdam
Bank, N.V., 70 Federal Reserve Bulletin 835 (1984). In
this case, Applicants have made a number of commitments to assure this separation. Under the circumstances of this case, the Board finds these commitments are sufficient to address its concerns with
potential adverse effects associated with the joint
ventures.
In applications under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC
Act, the Board considers the financial condition and
resources of the applicant and its subsidiaries, and the
effects of the proposed transaction on those resources.
In accordance with the principles of national treatment
and competitive equity, the Board has stated that it
expects a foreign bank to meet the same general
standards of financial strength as domestic bank holding companies and to be able to serve as a source of
strength to its United States banking operations.7 In
considering applications of foreign banking organizations, the Board has noted that foreign banks operate
outside the United States in accordance with different
regulatory and supervisory requirements, accounting
principles, asset quality standards, and banking practices and traditions, and that these differences have
made it difficult to compare the capital positions of

domestic and foreign banks. In the past, the Board has
addressed the complex issues involved in balancing
these concerns in the context of individual applications on a case-by-case basis, making adjustments as
appropriate to an applicant's capital to reflect differences in accounting treatment and regulatory practices.
The Board recently has adopted a proposal to supplement its consideration of capital adequacy with a
risk-based system that is simultaneously being proposed by the member countries of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices
and the other domestic federal banking agencies.8 The
Board considers the Basle Committee proposal an
important step toward a more consistent and equitable
international norm for assessing capital adequacy.
Until that framework becomes effective, however, the
Board will continue to evaluate applications involving
foreign banking organizations on a case-by-case basis
consistent with its prior precedent.
In this case, the Board notes that the stated primary
capital ratio of Amro meets the minimum capital
guidelines for United States multinational bank holding companies. Further, Amro meets the 1990 interim
risk-based guidelines, and its core capital exceeds the
1992 minimum standard adopted by the Basle Committee. The Board also notes that the applications involve
permissible nonbanking activities that require a small
commitment of capital. In view of these and other
facts of record, the Board has determined that financial factors are consistent with approval of the applications.
Consummation of Applicants' proposal may be expected to provide increased services and convenience
to DBI's customers and gains in efficiency. Additionally, as a de novo investment adviser, Krieger/DBI
may be expected to increase competition in this activity. Accordingly, the Board has determined that performance of the proposed activities by DBI can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public.
For these reasons, and in reliance on the commitments offered in this case, the Board believes that the
proposal is not likely to result in decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interests, unsound banking
practices, undue concentration of resources, or other
adverse effects.
Based on the foregoing and other facts of record, the
Board has determined that the balance of public interest factors that it must consider under section 4(c)(8)
of the BHC Act is favorable. Accordingly, the Board
has determined that the applications should be, and
hereby are, approved. This determination is subject to

8. 54 Federal Register 4186 (1989).

Orders Issued Under Sections 3 and 4 of the
Bank Holding Company Act
Lisco State Company
Lisco, Nebraska
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank Holding
Company and Companies Engaged in Insurance and
Lending Activities
Lisco State Company, Lisco, Nebraska ("Lisco"), a
bank holding company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act ("BHC Act"), has
applied for the Board's approval under section
3(a)(3) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(a)(3)) to
acquire 28.3 percent of the voting shares of O & F
Cattle Company, Oshkosh, Nebraska ("O & F"),
and indirectly acquire Nebraska State Bank, Oshkosh, Nebraska ("Nebraska Bank"). Lisco has also
applied for the Board's approval under section
4(c)(8) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. § 1843(c)(8)) to
engage, through the existing subsidiaries of O & F, in
making and servicing loans and other extensions of
credit, in the sale of credit-related insurance, and in
general insurance agency activities in communities
with a population of less than 5,000. These activities
are authorized for bank holding companies pursuant
to the Board's Regulation Y. 12 C.F.R. 225.25(b)(1),
(8)(i) and (8)(iii).
Notice of the applications, affording interested persons an opportunity to submit comments, has been
published (54 Federal Register 31,884 (1989)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board
has considered the applications and all comments

32

Federal Reserve Bulletin • January 1990

received in light of the factors set forth in section 3(c)
of the BHC Act and the public interest factors set forth
in section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act.
Lisco and O & F are among the smaller commercial
banking organizations in Nebraska, controlling together deposits of $27.5 million, representing less than
one percent of total deposits in commercial banking
organizations in the state.1 Consummation of this
proposal would not have a significantly adverse effect
on the concentration of banking resources in Nebraska.
Lisco operates one bank subsidiary, Lisco State
Bank, Lisco, Nebraska ("Lisco Bank"). Both Lisco
Bank and Nebraska Bank compete in the Garden
County banking market.2 Lisco Bank is the smallest of
three banks in the market, controlling 22.3 percent of
total deposits in commercial banking organizations in
the market. Nebraska Bank is the largest commercial
bank in the market, controlling 46.6 percent of total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the
market. Upon consummation of this proposal, Lisco
would become the largest commercial banking organization in the market, controlling 68.9 percent of total
deposits in commercial banking organizations in the
market. The market would be considered highly concentrated, with the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index
("HHI") increasing by 2077 points to 5712.3
Although consummation of this proposal would result in the substantial reduction of existing competition
in the Garden County banking market, several factors
mitigate the potential anticompetitive effects of this
proposal. The Board has considered the fact that
Garden County is a sparsely populated area that has
experienced a steady decline in population.4 There are
three population centers in Garden County, Nebraska.
Lisco, Nebraska, which is the community in which
Lisco Bank operates its only office, is an unincorpo-

1. All banking data are as of December 31, 1988.
2. The Garden County banking market is approximated by Garden
County, Nebraska.
3. Under the revised Department of Justice Merger Guidelines
(49 Federal Register 26,823 (June 29, 1984)), any market in which the
post-merger HHI is over 1800 is considered highly concentrated, and
the Department of Justice is likely to challenge a merger that increases
the HHI by more than 50 points unless other factors indicate that the
merger will not substantially lessen competition. The Department of
Justice has informed the Board that a bank merger or acquisition is
likely to be challenged (in the absence of other factors indicating an
anticompetitive effect) if the post-merger HHI is at least 1800 and the
merger increases the HHI by at least 200 points.
The Department of Justice has informed Board staff that the
Department does not object to this acquisition on competitive
grounds.
4. Census data for 1980 indicates that Garden County has a
population of approximately 2800 and that the population declined by
3.4 percent between 1970 and 1980. U.S. Bureau of the Census,
Census of Population (1970 and 1980). The population has continued
to decline slowly since 1980. The 1989 Rand McNally
Commercial
Atlas and Marketing
Guide.




rated village with a population of less than 100. Oshkosh, Nebraska, which is the community in which
Nebraska Bank operates its only office, is 30 miles
from Lisco, Nebraska, and has a population of approximately 1100. Garden County as a whole has a population-per-bank ratio of 933, which is considerably
lower than the statewide average of 3475.5 Loans
originated in the Garden County market have declined
17 percent between 1983 and 1987, and during the
period between 1984 and 1988, deposits in the market
have grown at only a nominal rate, substantially below
the average rate of deposit growth in the state.6
In addition to the market conditions, the Board has
considered the fact that members of the same family
have owned Lisco Bank and Nebraska Bank since
1967. The father of the principal shareholders of the
two banks controlled Lisco Bank from 1924 to 1977,
when one of his sons, Thomas Olson, became the
principal shareholder of Lisco. William Olson, the
brother of Lisco's principal shareholder, also acquired
shares of Lisco Bank at that time and both brothers
have continued to own their shares of Lisco Bank
since 1977. William Olson acquired control of Nebraska Bank in 1967. The two brothers have served at
the same time on the boards of either Lisco Bank or
Nebraska Bank for 23 years, have served jointly on the
boards of several nonbanking organizations, and are
joint owners of another bank holding company outside
of the market. Moreover, Thomas Olson currently
owns 9.9 percent of O & F and has been providing
significant management assistance to Nebraska Bank.
The Board believes that the history of family ownership of Lisco Bank and Nebraska Bank, and the
business relationships between the Olson brothers
indicate that competition between Lisco Bank and
State Bank has been less than would be expected of
two completely independent organizations.
Consequently, the Board has determined that, in
view of all of the facts of record and in the particular
context of the market conditions in this case, consummation of this proposal would not have a significantly
adverse effect on competition or the concentration of
banking resources in the Garden County banking
market. Thus, competitive effects are consistent with
approval.

5. Of 64 counties in the United States with estimated populations of
2100 to 3000, two contain no banks or branches, 38 contain one bank
or branch, 16 contain two banks or branches, and only eight (including
Garden County) contain three or more banks or branches. Only 40 of
the 199 counties with a population of 4000 or less support three or
more banks or branches.
6. The rate of deposit growth in the market from year-end 1984
through year-end 1988 averaged only 2.8 percent, well below the state
average of 5.25 percent.

Legal Developments

The financial and managerial resources of Lisco,
0 & F and their respective bank subsidiaries and their
future prospects are consistent with approval. Considerations relating to convenience and needs of the
community to be served are also consistent with
approval.
Lisco has also applied, pursuant to section 4(c)(8),
to acquire indirectly the existing lending and insurance
subsidiaries of O & F. These activities are permissible
for bank holding companies under sections
225.25(b)(1),(8)(i) and (8)(iii) of the Board's Regulation
Y (12 C.F.R. 225.25(b)(1),(8)(i) and (8)(iii). Lisco does
not operate any nonbanking subsidiaries that compete
with these companies. Further, there is no evidence in
the record to indicate that approval of this proposal
would result in undue concentration of resources,
decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interests,
unsound banking practices, or other adverse effects on
the public interest. Accordingly, the Board has determined that the balance of public interest factors it must
consider under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is
favorable and consistent with approval of this application.

and hereby are, approved. The acquisition of O & F
shall not be consummated before the thirtieth calendar
day following the effective date of this Order, or later
than three months after the effective date of this
Order, unless such period is extended for good cause
by the Board or by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Kansas City, pursuant to delegated authority. The
determinations as to O & F's nonbanking activities are
subject to all of the conditions contained in Regulation
Y, including those in sections 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3)
(12 C.F.R. 225.4(d) and 225.23(b)(3)), and to the
Board's authority to require such modification or
termination of the activities of a holding company or
any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to
assure compliance with the provisions and purposes of
the BHC Act and the Board's regulations and orders
issued thereunder, or to prevent evasion thereof.
By order of the Board of Governors, effective
November 29, 1989.
Voting for this action: Chairman Greenspan and Governors

1. Unless otherwise noted, rates of change are calculated from average
amounts outstanding in preceding month or quarter.
2. Figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities associated with the
implementation of the Monetary Control Act and other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements. To adjust for discontinuities due to changes in reserve
requirements on reservable nondeposit liabilities, the sum of such required
reserves is subtracted from the actual series. Similarly, in adjusting for discontinuities in the monetary base, required clearing balances and adjustments to
compensate for float also are subtracted from the actual series.
3. The monetary base not adjusted for discontinuities consists of total
reserves plus required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float
at Federal Reserve Banks plus the currency component of the money stock less
the amount of vault cash holdings of thrift institutions that is included in the
currency component of the money stock plus, for institutions not having required
reserve balances, the excess of current vault cash over the amount applied to
satisfy current reserve requirements. After the introduction of contemporaneous
reserve requirements (CRR), currency and vault cash figures are measured over
the weekly computation period ending Monday.
Before CRR, all components of the monetary base other than excess reserves
are seasonally adjusted as a whole, rather than by component, and excess
reserves are added on a not seasonally adjusted basis. After CRR, the seasonally
adjusted series consists of seasonally adjusted total reserves, which include
excess reserves on a not seasonally adjusted basis, plus the seasonally adjusted
currency component of the money stock plus the remaining items seasonally
adjusted as a whole.
4. Composition of the money stock measures and debt is as follows:
Ml: (1) currency outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults
of depository institutions; (2) travelers checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand
deposits at all commercial banks other than those due to depository institutions,
the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions less cash items in
the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable
deposits (OCD) consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union
share draft accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
M2: Ml plus overnight (and continuing contract) repurchase agreements (RPs)
issued by all commercial banks and overnight Eurodollars issued to U.S. residents
by foreign branches of U.S. banks worldwide, Money Market Deposit Accounts
(MMDAs), savings and small-denomination time deposits (time deposits—including retail RPs—in amounts of less than $100,000), and balances in both taxable and
tax-exempt general purpose and broker-dealer money market mutual funds.
Excludes individual retirement accounts (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository




n.a.
n.a.

institutions and money market funds. Also excludes all balances held by U.S.
commercial banks, money market funds (general purpose and broker-dealer),
foreign governments and commercial banks, and the U.S. government.
M3: M2 plus large-denomination time deposits and term RP liabilities (in
amounts of $100,000 or more) issued by commercial banks and thrift institutions,
term Eurodollars held by U.S. residents at foreign branches of U.S. banks
worldwide and at all banking offices in the United Kingdom and Canada, and
balances in both taxable and tax-exempt, institution-only money market mutual
funds. Excludes amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government,
money market funds, and foreign banks and official institutions. Also subtracted
is the estimated amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by institution-only
money market mutual funds.
L: M3 plus the nonbank public holdings of U.S. savings bonds, short-term
Treasury securities, commercial paper and bankers acceptances, net of money
market mutual fund holdings of these assets.
Debt: Debt of domestic nonfinancial sectors consists of outstanding credit
market debt of the U.S. government, state and local governments, and private
nonfinancial sectors. Private debt consists of corporate bonds, mortgages, consumer credit (including bank loans), other bank loans, commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, and other debt instruments. The source of data on domestic
nonfinancial debt is the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds accounts. Debt
data are based on monthly averages. Growth rates for debt reflect adjustments for
discontinuities over time in the levels of debt presented in other tables.
5. Sum of overnight RPs and Eurodollars, money market fund balances
(general purpose and broker-dealer), MMDAs, and savings and small time
deposits less the estimated amount of demand deposits and vault cash held by
thrift institutions to service their time and savings deposit liabilities.
6. Sum of large time deposits, term RPs, and Eurodollars of U.S. residents,
money market fund balances (institution-only), less a consolidation adjustment
that represents the estimated amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by
institution-only money market mutual funds.
7. Excludes MMDAs.
8. Small-denomination time deposits—including retail RPs—are those issued
in amounts of less than $100,000. All IRA and Keogh accounts at commercial
banks and thrifts are subtracted from small time deposits.
9. Large-denomination tjme deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000
or more, excluding those booked at international banking facilities.
10. Large-denomination time deposits at commercial banks less those held by
money market mutual funds, depository institutions, and foreign banks and
official institutions.

1. These data also appear in the Board's H.3 (502) release. For address, see inside front cover.
2. Excludes required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for
float.
3. Dates refer to the maintenance periods in which the vault cash can be used
to satisfy reserve requirements. Under contemporaneous reserve requirements,
maintenance periods end 30 days after the lagged computation periods in which
the balances are held.
4. Equal to all vault cash held during the lagged computation period by
institutions having required reserve balances at Federal Reserve Banks plus the
amount of vault cash equal to required reserves during the maintenance period at
institutions having no required reserve balances.
5. Total vault cash at institutions having no required reserve balances less the
amount of vault cash equal to their required reserves during the maintenance
period.
6. Total reserves not adjusted for discontinuities consist of reserve balances




with Federal Reserve Banks, which exclude required clearing balances and
adjustments to compensate for float, plus vault cash used to satisfy reserve
requirements. Such vault cash consists of all vault cash held during the lagged
computation period by institutions having required reserve balances at Federal
Reserve Banks plus the amount of vault cash equal to required reserves during the
maintenance period at institutions having no required reserve balances.
7. Reserve balances with Federal Reserve Banks plus vault cash used to satisfy
reserve requirements less required reserves.
8. Extended credit consists of borrowing at the discount window under the
terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to help
depository institutions deal with sustained liquidity pressures. Because there is
not the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional
short-term adjustment credit, the money market impact of extended credit is
similar to that of nonborrowed reserves.
9. Data are prorated monthly averages of biweekly averages.

1. Adjustment credit is available on a short-term basis to help depository
institutions meet temporary needs for funds that cannot be met through reasonable alternative sources. After May 19, 1986, the highest rate established for loans
to depository institutions may be charged on adjustment credit loans of unusual
size that result from a major operating problem at the borrower's facility.
Seasonal credit is available to help smaller depository institutions meet regular,
seasonal needs for funds that cannot be met through special industry lenders and
that arise from a combination of expected patterns of movement in their deposits
and loans. A temporary simplified seasonal program was established on Mar. 8,
1985, and the interest rate was a fixed rate Yi percent above the rate on adjustment
credit. The program was reestablished for 1986 and 1987 but was not renewed for
1988.
2. Extended credit is available to depository institutions, when similar assistance is not reasonably available from other sources, when exceptional circumstances or practices involve only a particular institution or when an institution is
experiencing difficulties adjusting to changing market conditions over a longer
period of time.
3. For extended-credit loans outstanding more than 30 days, a flexible rate
somewhat above rates on market sources of funds ordinarily will be charged, but

in no case will the rate charged be less than the basic discount rate plus 50 basis
points. The flexible rate is reestablished on the first business day of each
two-week reserve maintenance period. At the discretion of the Federal Reserve
Bank, the time period for which the basic discount rate is applied may be
shortened.
4. For earlier data, see the following publications of the Board of Governors:
Banking and Monetary Statistics, 1914-1941, and 1941-1970; Annual Statistical
Digest, 1970-1979.
In 1980 and 1981, the Federal Reserve applied a surcharge to short-term
adjustment credit borrowings by institutions with deposits of $500 million or more
that had borrowed in successive weeks or in more than four weeks in a calendar
quarter. A 3 percent surcharge was in effect from Mar. 17, 1980 through May 7,
1980. There was no surcharge until Nov. 17,1980, when a 2 percent surcharge was
adopted; the surcharge was subsequently raised to 3 percent on Dec. 5, 1980, and
to 4 percent on May 5, 1981. The surcharge was reduced to 3 percent effective
Sept. 22, 1981, and to 2 percent effective Oct. 12, 1981. As of Oct. 1, 1981 the
formula for applying the surcharge was changed from a calendar quarter to a
moving 13-week period. The surcharge was eliminated on Nov. 17, 1981.

1. Reserve requirements in effect on Dec. 31, 1989. Required reserves must be
held in the form of deposits with Federal Reserve Banks or vault cash. Nonmember institutions may maintain reserve balances with a Federal Reserve Bank
indirectly on a pass-through basis with certain approved institutions. For previous
reserve requirements, see earlier editions of the Annual Report or the Federal
Reserve Bulletin. Under provisions of the Monetary Control Act, depository
institutions include commercial banks, mutual savings banks, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, agencies and branches of foreign banks, and Edge
corporations.
2. The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (Public Law
97-320) requires that $2 million of reservable liabilities (transaction accounts,
nonpersonal time deposits, and Eurocurrency liabilities) of each depository
institution be subject to a zero percent reserve requirement. The Board is to adjust
the amount of reservable liabilities subject to this zero percent reserve requirement each year for the succeeding calendar year by 80 percent of the percentage
increase in the total reservable liabilities of all depository institutions, measured
on an annual basis as of June 30. No corresponding adjustment is to be made in
the event of a decrease. On Dec. 20, 1988, the exemption was raised from $3.2
million to $3.4 million. In determining the reserve requirements of depository
institutions, the exemption shall apply in the following order: (1) net NOW
accounts (NOW accounts less allowable deductions); (2) net other transaction
accounts; and (3) nonpersonal time deposits or Eurocurrency liabilities starting
with those with the highest reserve ratio. With respect to NOW accounts and




other transaction accounts, the exemption applies only to such accounts that
would be subject to a 3 percent reserve requirement.
3. Transaction accounts include all deposits on which the account holder is
permitted to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments, payment orders of withdrawal, and telephone and preauthorized transfers in excess of
three per month for the purpose of making payments to third persons or others.
However, MMDAs and similar accounts subject to the rules that permit no more
than six preauthorized, automatic, or other transfers per month, of which no more
than three can be checks, are not transaction accounts (such accounts are savings
deposits subject to time deposit reserve requirements).
4. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 requires that the amount of transaction
accounts against which the 3 percent reserve requirement applies be modified
annually by 80 percent of the percentage change in transaction accounts held by
all depository institutions, determined as of June 30 each year. Effective Dec. 19,
1989 for institutions reporting quarterly and Dec. 26, 1989 for institutions
reporting weekly, the amount was decreased from $41.5 million to $40.4 million.
5. In general, nonpersonal time deposits are time deposits, including savings
deposits, that are not transaction accounts and in which a beneficial interest is
held by a depositor that is not a natural person. Also included are certain
transferable time deposits held by natural persons and certain obligations issued
to depository institution offices located outside the United States. For details, see
section 204.2 of Regulation D.

Monetary base

1. Latest monthly and biweekly figures are available from the Board's H.3(502)
statistical release. Historical data and estimates of the impact on required reserves
of changes in reserve requirements are available from the Monetary and Reserves
Projections Section. Division of Monetary Affairs. Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.
2. Figures incorporate adjustments for discontinuities associated with the
implementation of the Monetary Control Act and other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements. To adjust for discontinuities due to changes in reserve
requirements on reservable nondeposit liabilities, the sum of such required
reserves is subtracted from the actual series. Similarly, in adjusting for discontinuities in the monetary base, required clearing balances and adjustments to
compensate for float also are subtracted from the actual series.
3. Total reserves not adjusted for discontinuities consist of reserve balances
with Federal Reserve Banks, which exclude required clearing balances and
adjustments to compensate for float, plus vault cash held during the lagged
computation period by institutions having required reserve balances at Federal
Reserve Banks plus the amount of vault cash equal to required reserves during the
maintenance period at institutions having no required reserve balances.
4. Extended credit consists of borrowing at the discount window under




the terms and conditions established for the extended credit program to helpdepository institutions deal with sustained liquidity pressures. Because there isnot
the same need to repay such borrowing promptly as there is with traditional
short-term adjustment credit, the money market impact of extended credit is
similar to that of nonborrowed reserves.
5. The monetary base not adjusted for discontinuities consists of total reserves
plus required clearing balances and adjustments to compensate for float at Federal
Reserve Banks and the currency component of the money stock plus, for institutions not having required reserve balances, the excess of current vault cash over
the amount applied to satisfy current reserve requirements. Currency and vault
cash figures are measured over the weekly computation period ending Monday.
The seasonally adjusted monetary base consists of seasonally adjusted total
reserves, which include excess reserves on a not seasonally adjusted basis, plus
the seasonally adjusted currency component of the money stock and the remaining items seasonally adjusted as a whole.
6. Reflects actual reserve requirements, including those on nondeposit liabilities, with no adjustments to eliminate the effects of discontinuities associated with
implementation of the Monetary Control Act or other regulatory changes to
reserve requirements.

NOTES TO TABLE 1.21
1. Latest monthly and weekly figures are available from the Board's H.6 (508)
release. Historical data are available from the Monetary and Reserves Projection
section, Division of Monetary Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Washington, D.C. 20551.
2. Composition of the money stock measures and debt is as follows:
Ml: (1) currency outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults
of depository institutions; (2) travelers checks of nonbank issuers; (3) demand
deposits at all commercial banks other than those due to depository institutions,
the U.S. government, and foreign banks and official institutions less cash items in
the process of collection and Federal Reserve float; and (4) other checkable
deposits (OCD) consisting of negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) and automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts at depository institutions, credit union
share draft accounts, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
M2: Ml plus overnight (and continuing contract) repurchase agreements (RPs)
issued by all commercial banks and overnight Eurodollars issued to U.S. residents
by foreign branches of U.S. banks worldwide, MMDAs, savings and smalldenomination time deposits (time deposits—including retail RPs—in amounts of
less than $100,000), and balances in both taxable and tax-exempt general purpose
and broker-dealer money market mutual funds. Excludes individual retirement
accounts (IRA) and Keogh balances at depository institutions and money market
funds. Also excludes all balances held by U.S. commercial banks, money market
funds (general purpose and broker-dealer), foreign governments and commercial
banks, and the U.S. government.
M3: M2 plus large-denomination time deposits and term RP liabilities (in
amounts of $100,000 or more) issued by commercial banks and thrift institutions,
term Eurodollars held by U.S. residents at foreign branches of U.S. banks
worldwide and at all banking offices in the United Kingdom and Canada, and
balances in both taxable and tax-exempt, institution-only money market mutual
funds. Excludes amounts held by depository institutions, the U.S. government,
money market funds, and foreign banks and official institutions. Also subtracted
is the estimated amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by institution-only
money market mutual funds.
L: M3 plus the nonbank public holdings of U.S. savings bonds, short-term
Treasury securities, commercial paper and bankers acceptances, net of money
market mutual fund holdings of these assets.




Debt: Debt of domestic nonfinancial sectors consists of outstanding credit
market debt of the U.S. government, state and local governments, and private
nonfinancial sectors. Private debt consists of corporate bonds, mortgages, consumer credit (including bank loans), other bank loans, commercial paper, bankers
acceptances, and other debt instruments. The source of data on domestic
nonfinancial debt is the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds accounts. Debt
data are based on monthly averages.
3. Currency outside the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and vaults of
depository institutions.
4. Outstanding amount of U.S. dollar-denominated travelers checks of nonbank issuers. Travelers checks issued by depository institutions are included in
demand deposits.
5. Demand deposits at commercial banks and foreign-related institutions other
than those due to depository institutions, the U.S. government, and foreign banks
and official institutions less cash items in the process of collection and Federal
Reserve float.
6. Consists of NOW and ATS balances at all depository institutions, credit
union share draft balances, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
7. Sum of overnight RPs and overnight Eurodollars, money market fund
balances (general purpose and broker-dealer), MMDAs, and savings and small
time deposits.
8. Sum of large time deposits, term RPs, and term Eurodollars of U.S.
residents, money market fund balances (institution-only), less the estimated
amount of overnight RPs and Eurodollars held by institution-only money market
funds.
9. Savings deposits exclude MMDAs.
10. Small-denomination time deposits—including retail RPs—are those issued
in amounts of less than $100,000. All individual retirement accounts (IRA) and
Keogh accounts at commercial banks and thrifts are subtracted from small time
deposits.
11. Large-denomination time deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000
or more, excluding those booked at international banking facilities.
12. Large-denomination time deposits at commercial banks less those held by
money market mutual funds, depository institutions, and foreign banks and
official institutions.

1. Figures include cash items in process of collection. Estimates of gross
deposits are based on reports supplied by a sample of commercial banks. Types
of depositors in each category are described in the June 1971 Bulletin, p. 466.
Figures may not add to totals because of rounding.
2. Beginning in March 1984, these data reflect a change in the panel of weekly
reporting banks, and are not comparable to earlier data. Estimates in billions of
dollars for December 1983 based on the new weekly reporting panel are: financial
business, 24.4; nonfinancial business, 80.9; consumer, 30.1; foreign, 3.1; other
9.5.
3. Beginning March 1985, financial business deposits and, by implication, total
gross demand deposits have been redefined to exclude demand deposits due to
thrift institutions. Historical data have not been revised. The estimated volume of
such deposits for December 1984 is $5.0 billion at all insured commercial banks
and $3.0 billion at weekly reporting banks.

4. Historical data back to March 1985 have been revised to account for
corrections of bank reporting errors. Historical data before March 1985 have not
been revised, and may contain reporting errors. Data for all commercial banks for
March 1985 were revised as follows (in billions of dollars): all holders, - . 3 ;
financial business, - . 8 ; nonfinancial business, - . 4 ; consumer, .9; foreign, .1;
other, - . 1 . Data for weekly reporting banks for March 1985 were revised as
follows (in billions of dollars): all holders, - .1; financial business, - . 7 ; nonfinancial business, - . 5 ; consumer, 1.1; foreign, .1; other, - . 2 .
5. Beginning March 1988, these data reflect a change in the panel of weekly
reporting banks, and are not comparable to earlier data. Estimates in billions of
dollars for December 1987 based on the new weekly reporting panel are: financial
business, 29.4; nonfinancial business, 105.1; consumer, 41.1; foreign, 3.4; other,
13.1.

1. Weekly, monthly and annual figures are averages of all calendar days,
where the rate for a weekend or holiday is taken to be the rate prevailing on the
preceding business day. The daily rate is the average of the rates on a given day
weighted by the volume of transactions at these rates.
2. Weekly figures are averages for statement week ending Wednesday.
3. Rate for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
4. Unweighted average of offering rates quoted by at least five dealers (in the
case of commercial paper), or finance companies (in the case of finance paper).
Before November 1979, maturities for data shown are 30-59 days, 90-119 days,
and 120-179 days for commercial paper; and 30-59 days, 90-119 days, and
150-179 days for finance paper.
5. Yields are quoted on a bank-discount basis, rather than in an investment
yield basis (which would give a higher figure).
6. Dealer closing offered rates for top-rated banks. Most representative rate
(which may be, but need not be, the average of the rates quoted by the dealers).
7. Unweighted average of offered rates quoted by at least five dealers early in
the day.
8. Calendar week average. For indication purposes only.
9. Unweighted average of closing bid rates quoted by at least five dealers.
10. Rates are recorded in the week in which bills are issued. Beginning with the
Treasury bill auction held on Apr. 18, 1983, bidders were required to state the
percentage yield (on a bank discount basis) that they would accept to two decimal




places. Thus, average issuing rates in bill auctions will be reported using two
rather than three decimal places.
11. Yields are based on closing bid prices quoted by at least five dealers.
12. Yields adjusted to constant maturities by the U.S. Treasury. That is, yields
are read from a yield curve at fixed maturities. Based on only recently issued,
actively traded securities.
13. Averages (to maturity or call) for all outstanding bonds neither due nor
callable in less than 10 years, including one very low yielding "flower" bond.
14. General obligations based on Thursday figures; Moody's Investors Service.
15. General obligations only, with 20 years to maturity, issued by 20 state and
local governmental units of mixed quality. Based on figures for Thursday.
16. Daily figures from Moody's Investors Service. Based on yields to maturity
on selected long-term bonds.
17. Compilation of the Federal Reserve. This series is an estimate of the yield
on recently-offered, A-rated utility bonds with a 30-year maturity and 5 years of
call protection. Weekly data are based on Friday quotations.
18. Standard and Poor's corporate series. Preferred stock ratio based on a
sample of ten issues: four public utilities, four industrials, one financial, and one
transportation. Common stock ratios on the 500 stocks in the price index.
NOTE. These data also appear in the Board's H. 15 (519) and G. 13 (415) releases.

1. Effective July 1976, includes a new financial group, banks and insurance
companies. With this change the index includes 400 industrial stocks (formerly
425), 20 transportation (formerly 15 rail), 40 public utility (formerly 60), and 40
financial.
2. Beginning July 5, 1983, the American Stock Exchange rebased its index
effectively cutting previous readings in half.
3. Beginning July 1983, under the revised Regulation T, margin credit at
broker-dealers includes credit extended against stocks, convertible bonds, stocks
acquired through exercise of subscription rights, corporate bonds, and government securities. Separate reporting of data for margin stocks, convertible bonds,
and subscription issues was discontinued in April 1984.
4. Free credit balances are in accounts with no unfulfilled commitments to the
brokers and are subject to withdrawal by customers on demand.
5. New series beginning June 1984.
6. These regulations, adopted by the Board of Governors pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, limit the amount of credit to purchase and




carry"margin securities" (as defined in the regulations) when such credit is
collateralized by securities. Margin requirements on securities other than options
are the difference between the market value (100 percent) and the maximum loan
value of collateral as prescribed by the Board. Regulation T was adopted effective
Oct. 15, 1934; Regulation U, effective May 1, 1936; Regulation G, effective Mar.
11, 1968; and Regulation X, effective Nov. 1, 1971.
On Jan. 1, 1977, the Board of Governors for the first time established in
Regulation T the initial margin required for writing options on securities, setting
it at 30 percent of the current market-value of the stock underlying the option. On
Sept. 30, 1985, the Board changed the required initial margin, allowing it to be the
same as the option maintenance margin required by the appropriate exchange or
self-regulatory organization; such maintenance margin rules must be approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Effective Jan. 31, 1986, the SEC
approved new maintenance margin rules, permitting margins to be the price of the
option plus 15 percent of the market value of the stock underlying the option.

The figures exclude allotments of, and exchanges for, new U.S. Treasury
securities, redemptions of called or matured securities, purchases or sales of
securities under repurchase agreement, reverse repurchase (resale), or similar
contracts.
2. Data for immediate transactions do not include forward transactions.
3. Includes, among others, all other dealers and brokers in commodities and




securities, nondealer departments of commercial banks, foreign banking agencies,
and the Federal Reserve System.
4. Futures contracts are standardized agreements arranged on an organized
exchange in which parties commit to purchase or sell securities for delivery at a
future date.
5. Forward transactions are agreements arranged in the over-the-counter
market in which securities are purchased (sold) for delivery after 5 business days
from the date of the transaction for Treasury securities (Treasury bills, notes, and
bonds) or after 30 days for mortgage-backed agency issues.

1. Data for dealer positions and sources of financing are obtained from reports
submitted to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York by the U.S. Treasury
securities dealers on its published list of primary dealers.
Data for positions are averages of daily figures, in terms of par value, based on
the number of trading days in the period. Positions are net amounts and are shown
on a commitment basis. Data for financing are in terms of actual amounts
borrowed or lent and are based on Wednesday figures.
2. Immediate positions are net amounts (in terms of par values) of securities
owned by nonbank dealer firms and dealer departments of commercial banks on
a commitment, that is, trade-date basis, including any such securities that have
been sold under agreements to repurchase (RPs). The maturities of some
repurchase agreements are sufficiently long, however, to suggest that the securities involved are not available for trading purposes. Immediate positions include




reverses to maturity, which are securities that were sold after having been
obtained under reverse repurchase agreements that mature on the same day as the
securities. Data for immediate positions do not include forward positions.
3. Figures cover financing involving U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities, negotiable CDs, bankers acceptances, and commercial paper.
4. Includes all reverse repurchase agreements, including those that have been
arranged to make delivery on short sales and those for which the securities
obtained have been used as collateral on borrowings, that is, matched agreements.
5. Includes both repurchase agreements undertaken to finance positions and
"matched book" repurchase agreements.
NOTE. Data on positions for the period May 1 to Sept. 30, 1986, are partially
estimated.

National Mortgage Association acting as trustee for the Farmers Home Administration; Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; Department of Housing
and Urban Development; Small Business Administration; and the Veterans
Administration.
6. Off-budget.
7. Includes outstanding noncontingent liabilities: notes, bonds, and debentures. Some data are estimated.
8. Excludes borrowing by the Farm Credit Financial Assistance Corporation,
shown in line 17.




9. Before late 1981, the Association obtained financing through the Federal
Financing Bank (FFB). Borrowing excludes that obtained from the FFB, which is
shown on line 21.
10. The Financing Corporation, established in August 1987 to recapitalize the
Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, undertook its first borrowing in
October 1987.
11. The Farm Credit Financial Assistance Corporation (established in January
1988 to provide assistance to the Farm Credit System) undertook its first
borrowing in July 1988.
12. The FFB, which began operations in 1974, is authorized to purchase or sell
obligations issued, sold, or guaranteed by other federal agencies. Since FFB
incurs debt solely for the purpose of lending to other agencies, its debt is not
included in the main portion of the table in order to avoid double counting.
13. Includes FFB purchases of agency assets and guaranteed loans; the latter
contain loans guaranteed by numerous agencies with the guarantees of any
particular agency being generally small. The Farmers Home Administration item
consists exclusively of agency assets, while the Rural Electrification Administration entry contains both agency assets and guaranteed loans.

1. Weighted averages based on sample surveys of mortgages originated by
major institutional lender groups; compiled by the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board in cooperation with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
2. Includes all fees, commissions, discounts, and "points" paid (by the
borrower or the seller) to obtain a loan.
3. Average effective interest rates on loans closed, assuming prepayment at the
end of 10 years.
4. Average contract rates on new commitments for conventional first mortgages; from Department of Housing and Urban Development.
5. Average gross yields on 30-year, minimum-downpayment, Federal Housing
Administration-insured first mortgages for immediate delivery in the private
secondary market. Based on transactions on first day of subsequent month. Large
monthly movements in average yields may reflect market adjustments to changes
in maximum permissable contract rates.




6. Average net yields to investors on Government National Mortgage Association guaranteed, mortgage-backed, fully modified pass-through securities, assuming prepayment in 12 years on pools of 30-year FHA/VA mortgages carrying
the prevailing ceiling rate. Monthly figures are averages of Friday figures from the
Wall Street Journal.
7. Includes some multifamily and nonprofit hospital loan commitments in
addition to 1- to 4-family loan commitments accepted in FNMA's free market
auction system, and through the FNMA-GNMA tandem plans.
8. Includes participation as well as whole loans.
9. Includes conventional and government-underwritten loans. FHLMC's mortgage commitments and mortgage transactions include activity under mortgage/
securities swap programs, while the corresponding data for FNMA exclude swap
activity.

1. Based on data from various institutional and governmental sources, with
some quarters estimated in part by the Federal Reserve. Multifamily debt refers
to loans on structures of five or more units.
2. Includes loans held by nondeposit trust companies but not bank trust
departments.
3. Includes savings banks and savings and loan associations. Beginning 1987:1,
data reported by FSLIC-insured institutions include loans in process and other
contra assets (credit balance accounts that must be subtracted from the corresponding gross asset categories to yield net asset levels).
4. Assumed to be entirely 1- to 4-family loans.




5. FmHA-guaranteed securities sold to the Federal Financing Bank were
reallocated from FmHA mortgage pools to FmHA mortgage holdings in 1986:4,
because of accounting changes by the Farmers Home Administration.
6. Outstanding principal balances of mortgage pools backing securities insured
or guaranteed by the agency indicated. Includes private pools which are not
shown as a separate line item.
7. Other holders include mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts,
state and local credit agencies, state and local retirement funds, noninsured
pension funds, credit unions, and other U.S. agencies.

1. Not at annual rates.
2. Not seasonally adjusted.
3. Value of new construction data in recent periods may not be strictly
comparable with data in previous periods because of changes by the Bureau of the
Census in its estimating techniques. For a description of these changes see
Construction Reports (C-30-76-5), issued by the Bureau in July 1976.




NOTE. Census Bureau estimates for all series except (1) mobile homes, which
are private, domestic shipments as reported by the Manufactured Housing
Institute and seasonally adjusted by the Census Bureau, and (2) sales and prices
of existing units, which are published by the National Association of Realtors. All
back and current figures are available from the originating agency. Permit
authorizations are those reported to the Census Bureau from 16,000 jurisdictions
beginning with 1978.

1. The Census basis data differ from merchandise trade data shown in table
3.10, U.S. International Transactions Summary, for reasons of coverage and
timing. On the export side, the largest adjustment is the exclusion of military sales
(which are combined with other military transactions and reported separately in
the "service account" in table 3.10, line 6). On the import side, additions are made
for gold, ship purchases, imports of electricity from Canada, and other transac-

tions; military payments are excluded and shown separately as indicated above.
As of Jan. 1, 1987 census data are released 45 days after the end of the month; the
previous month is revised to reflect late documents. Total exports and the trade
balance reflect adjustments for undocumented exports to Canada.

1. The banking offices covered by these data are the U.S. offices and foreign
branches of U.S.-owned banks and of U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned banks.
Offices not covered include (1) U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, and
(2) foreign subsidiaries of U.S. banks. To minimize duplication, the data are
adjusted to exclude the claims on foreign branches held by a U.S. office or another
foreign branch of the same banking institution. The data in this table combine
foreign branch claims in table 3.14 (the sum of lines 7 through 10) with the claims
of U.S. offices in table 3.18 (excluding those held by agencies and branches of
foreign banks and those constituting claims on own foreign branches).
2. Beginning with June 1984 data, reported claims held by foreign branches
have been reduced by an increase in the reporting threshold for "shell" branches




from $50 million to $150 million equivalent in total assets, the threshold now
applicable to all reporting branches.
3. This group comprises the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries
shown individually, other members of OPEC (Algeria, Gabon, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait,
Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates), and Bahrain and
Oman (not formally members of OPEC).
4. Excludes Liberia.
5. Includes Canal Zone beginning December 1979.
6. Foreign branch claims only.
7. Includes New Zealand, Liberia, and international and regional organizations.

112 Number of banks
1. Effective Mar. 31, 1984, the report of condition was substantially revised for
commercial banks. Some of the changes are as follows: (1) Previously, banks with
international banking facilities (IBFs) that had no other foreign offices were
considered domestic reporters. Beginning with the Mar. 31, 1984 call report these
banks are considered foreign and domestic reporters and must file the foreign and
domestic report of condition; (2) banks with assets greater than $1 billion have
additional items reported; (3) the domestic office detail for banks with foreign
offices has been reduced considerably; and (4) banks with assets under $25 million
have been excused from reporting certain detail items.
2. The " n . a . " for some of the items is used to indicate the lesser detail available
from banks without foreign offices, the inapplicability of certain items to banks
that have only domestic offices and/or the absence of detail on a fully consolidated
basis for banks with foreign offices.
3. All transactions between domestic and foreign offices of a bank are reported
in "net due from" and "net due to." All other lines represent transactions with
parties other than the domestic and foreign offices of each bank. Since these
intraoffice transactions are nullified by consolidation, total assets and total
liabilities for the entire bank may not equal the sum of assets and liabilities
respectively, of the domestic and foreign offices.
4. Foreign offices include branches in foreign countries, Puerto Rico, and in
U.S. territories and possessions; subsidiaries in foreign countries; all offices of
Edge act and agreement corporations wherever located and IBFs.
5. The 'over 100' column refers to those respondents whose assets, as of June
30 of the previous calendar year, were equal to or exceeded $100 million. (These
respondents file the FFIEC 032 or FFIEC 033 call report.) The 'under 100' column




refers to those respondents whose assets, as of June 30 of the previous calendar
year, were less than $100 million. (These respondents filed the FFIEC 034 call
report.)
6. Since the domestic portion of allowances for loan and lease losses and
allocated transfer risk reserve are not reported for banks with foreign offices, the
components of total assets (domestic) will not add to the actual total (domestic).
7. Since the foreign portion of demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury is not
reported for banks with foreign offices, the components of total liabilities (foreign)
will not add to the actual total (foreign).
8. The definition of 'all other' varies by report form and therefore by column in
this table. See the instructions for more detail.
9. Equity capital is not allocated between the domestic and foreign offices of
banks with foreign offices.
10. Only the domestic portion of federal funds sold and securities purchased
under agreements to resell are reported here, therefore, the components will not
add to totals for this item.
11. "Acceptances of other banks" is not reported by domestic respondents less
than $300 million in total assets, therefore the components will not add to totals for
this item.
12. Only the domestic portion of federal funds purchased and securities sold
are reported here, therefore the components will not add to totals for this item.
13. Components of assets held in trading accounts are only reported for banks
with total assets of $1 billion or more; therefore the components will not add to the
totals for this item.

PUBLICATIONS

CONSUMER

CREDIT

The Federal Reserve Board publishes a series of
pamphlets covering individual credit laws and topics,
as pictured below. The series includes such subjects as
how the Equal Credit Opportunity Act protects women against discrimination in their credit dealings, how
to use a credit card, and how to resolve a billing error.
The Board also publishes the Consumer Handbook
to Credit Protection Laws, a complete guide to consumer credit protections. This 44-page booklet explains how to use the credit laws to shop for credit,
apply for it, keep up credit ratings, and complain about
an unfair credit.




Three booklets on the mortgage process are also
available: A Consumer's Guide to Mortgage Refinancings, A Consumer's Guide to Mortgage Lock-Ins, and
A Consumer's Guide to Mortgage Settlement Costs.
These booklets were prepared in conjunction with the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board and in consultation
with other federal agencies and trade and consumer
groups.
Copies of consumer publications are available free
of charge from Publications Services, Mail Stop 138,
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,
Washington, D.C. 20551. Multiple copies for classroom use are also available free of charge.

NEW HANDBOOK AVAILABLE
REGULATORY
SERVICE

FROM THE

The Federal Reserve Board has announced publication of The Payment System Handbook. The new
handbook, which is part of the Federal Reserve Regulatory Service, deals with expedited funds availability, check collection, wire transfers, and risk-reduction policy. It includes Regulation CC (Availability of
Funds and Collection of Checks), Regulation J (Collection of Checks and Other Items and Wire Transfers
of Funds by Federal Reserve Banks), the Expedited
Funds Availability Act and related statutes, official
Board commentary on Regulation CC, and policy
statements on risk reduction in the payment system. In
addition, it contains detailed subject and citation indexes. It is published in loose-leaf binder form and is
updated monthly.
To promote public understanding of its regulatory
functions, the Board publishes the Federal Reserve
Regulatory Service, a three-volume loose-leaf service




containing all Board regulations and related statutes,
interpretations, policy statements, rulings, and staff
opinions. For those with a more specialized interest in
the Board's regulations, parts of this service are published separately as handbooks pertaining to monetary
policy, securities credit, consumer affairs, and, available for the first time in September 1988, The Payment
System Handbook.
For domestic subscribers, the annual rate for The
Payment System Handbook is $75. For subscribers
outside the United States, the price, including additional air mail costs, is $90. For the Federal Reserve
Regulatory Service, not including handbooks, the annual rate is $200 for domestic subscribers and $250 for
subscribers outside the United States. All subscription
requests must be accompanied by a check payable to
"Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System." Orders should be addressed to Publications
Services, Mail Stop 138, Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551.
