U.S. finflllCIflL DATA
Week ending: January 7, 1970
*UG 2 7 19®
The money stock, consisting of private demand
deposits and currency in the hands of the public, has been
essentially unchanged since early June, following a 4.8
per cent rate of growth from December 1968 to early June
and a 7 per cent increase in 1968 (page 5). A large, and
tpresumably temporary, decline in cash items in process of
collection near year-end caused a jump in money in the
final week of 1969. These items are subtracted from gross
demand deposits; consequently, net demand deposits, the
principal component of the money stock, increased sharply
in that week.
A decline in the monetary base from early June
to early September had a depressing impact on money growth
(page 2). During the last three months the monetary base
has risen at a 5.4 per cent annual rate, which would have
led to a similar increase in money if the influence of
other factors had been neutral. However, three other
factors have had an offsetting negative impact on the
growth of money:

(1)

an increase in Government deposits at
commercial banks relative to private
demand deposits;

(2)

(3)

a rise in required reserves relative
to total deposits, because of shifts
in types of deposits and between
classes of banks.

On balance for the past three years, the
growth of money has been associated with a similar
change in the monetary base, with little net effect
coming from other factors. Unless the recent depress­
ing impact of these other factors changes, only a
greater rise in the monetary base will provide expan­
sion in the money stock.
Federal Reserve credit, the policy determi­
nant of the monetary base and therefore of the money
stock, has risen at a rapid 9.7 per cent annual rate
during the last three months (page 2). A rise in
Government deposits at Federal Reserve banks offset
some of the expansionary effect of Federal Reserve
credit growth on the base during this period.
It is
not unusual for the monetary base to grow at a slower
rate than Federal Reserve credit. The trend growth of
the monetary base from 1957 to 1968 (3.6 per cent) was
less than half the trend growth of Federal Reserve
credit (8.1 per cent).

an increase in currency relative to
private demand deposits; and
