MN 05 1979
The money stock of the nation has changed little in
the last four months, rising at only a 0.5 percent annual rate.
By comparison, money rose at an average 6.2 percent rate from the
fourth quarter of 1966 to the third quarter of 1971. The two
most recent periods when the money stock changed only slightly
for a period of four months or longer occurred in 1969 and 1966.
Money is defined to include private demand deposits and currency
in the hands of the public.
Growth in the monetary base, which underlies growth in
the money stock, has also slowed markedly in recent months. In
the past four months the base has risen at a 2.7 percent annual
rate, down from the 11 percent rate of the previous seven months.
Slower expansion of Federal Reserve credit, the major
component of the base, has been the dominant factor in the recent
slowing in the growth of the base. In the last four months Federal
Reserve credit has increased at a 5.5 percent annual rate, after
rising at a 15 percent rate in the previous seven months. Federal
Reserve credit reflects primarily funds injected when the System
purchases securities from the public; it also includes loans
made to member banks by Federal Reserve Banks as well as a few minor
transactions.
Despite the less expansive growth of Federal Reserve
credit, monetary base, and money, financial markets have had an
easier tone. Interest rates on three month Treasury bills, for
example, have declined from 5.40 percent in late July to about
4.35 percent recently. The lower market interest rates may re­
flect, in part, a downward revision of inflationary expectations
by both lenders and borrowers.
