Both money (M^) and money plus net time
deposits (1^2) have increased at relatively rapid
rates so far this year. Mj_ has expanded at an 8
percent annual rate since the four weeks ending
January 5, a period of nine months. Growth of
was at an 11 percent rate in the first three
months of this period, a 5 percent rate in the
second three months, and a 7.8 percent rate in the
most recent three months. For comparison,
grew
at a 5.9 percent trend rate from late 1966 to late
1971 and at a 2.3 percent trend rate from 1952 to
1966. M2 has risen at a 10.5 percent rate in the
past nine months, compared with an 8.2 percent
trend rate from late 1966 to late 1971.
Business loans at all commercial banks
have expanded rapidly in recent months after a lull
during the late spring and early summer. Since
January business loans have increased at a 10.9
percent annual rate. For comparison, business
loans grew at a 5.8 percent rate in 1971 and at
only a 3.8 percent rate during the recession year
of 1970. An acceleration in the growth rate of
business loans, as in the past two years, usually
accompanies faster expansion of economic activity.
Short-term market interest rates have
risen in 1972. Yields on three-month Treasury
bills averaged 4.70 percent in the three days
ending October 11, compared with 3.18 percent
in February. Yields on four- to six-month commer­
cial paper averaged 5.25 percent in the first part
of this week, compared with a 3.93 percent last
February. The rate charged on bank loans to prime
business customers is currently at 5-3/4 percent.
The prime rate is now only 50 basis points above
the four- to six-month commercial paper rate, down
from an average differential of 70 basis points
last February.
