Week ending: April 5, 1972
UBRArY
JUN 0 5 1979
The nation's money stock has risen at a 9.4 percent
annual rate in the past three months, after little increase in
the last five months of 1971. For comparison, money grew at a
trend rate of 5.9 percent from the fourth quarter of 1966 to the
fourth quarter of 1971. The demand deposit component has risen
at about the same rate in the past three months as the total
money stock.
The acceleration in the rate of increase of the
monetary base has been the primary factor underlying the acce­
leration of the money stock in recent months. A slight decline
in the money multiplier since late last year only offset a
small portion of the rise in the base. The monetary base has
risen at a 12.7 percent annual rate in the past three months,
compared with a 3.6 percent rate in the last five months of
1971.
Federal Reserve credit has risen at an 8 percent
rate in the past three months, compared with a 7 percent rate
in the previous five months. In the past two months, however,
Federal Reserve credit has not increased, while the base has
continued to grow rapidly. The discrepancy between the two
series arises from a reduction in Treasury balances at the
Federal Reserve. Such Treasury actions contribute to the
growth of the base.
