Week ending: December 13, 1978

LIBRARY
DEC 2 S 1979
Growth in the money stock (Ml) has slowed considerably
iti recent weeks.
In the two-month period from the four weeks
ending October 4 to the four weeks ending December 6, the money
stock decreased at an annual rate of 1.4 percent, down sharply
from its nearly 12 percent rate of growth during the previous
two-month period.
Accompanying this decline in the rate of
growth in Ml over the past two months has been a rapid increase
in total time deposits. The growth of time deposits has occurred
m large-denomination certificates of deposits (CDs) and certain
components of net time deposits.
For a given growth of the
monetary base, this rapid growth of time deposits means that more
reserves must be used to support time deposits and less reserves
are available to support growth of demand deposits.
Growth in CDs has accelerated sharply over the past two
months. Although the interest rate on CDs has risen nearly 160
basis points since October 6, the amount of CDs issued by large
commercial banks has increased by $8.0 billion on a seasonally
adjusted basis. In comparison, CDs rose by only $1.0 billion
over the previous two-month period, during which the interest
rate on CDs rose by about one percentage point.
P1® ®rowP?
.tlme deposits has been maintained,
despite about a $2.7 billion drop in savings deposits, by
issuance of money market time deposits and growth of ATS
accounts
In the two-month period from July 26 to September 27
money market time deposits increased by slightly more than $4 2
billion.
During the one-month period from September 27 to
October 25 (the latest survey data available), MMTDs increased by
nearly $4.2 billion.

\ vutvtvxug vucuiauu the growth of s a time
accounts also had
deposits
Any shifting of demand deposits into savings deposits
will result in an increase in.the growth in net time deposits and
a decrease in the growth of Ml, for a given growth of the
monetary base. The survey data for November 29 showed that the
ATS accounts at commercial banks totalled about $2 billion
of
which somewhat more than 50% had come from demand deposits
