Week ending: July 21r 1971

Monetary aggregates have risen at unprecedented rates
in recent months. For instance, the nation's money stock has
expanded at an 11.5 per cent annual rate in the past six months
(page 5), ranking in the highest percentile of all consecutive
six-month periods since World War II. Money plus net time deposits
(called M2) has risen at a 16 per cent rate (page 7), ranking in
the 99th percentile. Growth of aggregates in the last six months
have greatly exceeded those rates of 1967 and 1968, the last
period of rapid monetary expansion (see table below). This
period was one of accelerating inflation and sharply rising
interest rates.
Growth of other monetary aggregates, such as the monetary
base and Federal Reserve credit which are largely under the control
of monetary authorities, has been primarily responsible for the
rapid growth of money. The monetary base has risen at a 9.4 per
cent annual rate in the past six months (page 2), ranking in the
100th percentile. Federal Reserve credit has risen at a 13 per
cent rate in the past six months, which is in the 89th percentile.
In 1969, the base grew only 3 per cent, and the growth of the money
stock slowed to about the same rate. In 1970 growth of the base
accelerated to a 6.2 per cent rate of increase, resulting in a
5.4 per cent increase in the money stock.
