Topic: Monetary base



  
 Money base - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The money base, or the monetary base is a government liability, currency and bank reserves.
Many economists fear that money base is increasingly diluted, thus the quantifieable "reserves" in the world monetary system today are in essence amount of (mostly) unsecured debt.
Since the second half of eighties the notion of amorphous "reserves" underlying the money base was consistently presented as an axiom-type statement, which, however contradicts the actual incidents underlying the separation of current monetary system from gold.

 MONETARY REFORM FOR CUBA : IN TRANSITION Ricardo E
This is known as a "fixed exchange regime" and in it the monetary base is determined by the balance of payments in such a way that when the official net foreign reserves increase the monetary base increases and vice versa.
For any Monetary Authority (M-Auth) there are three variables of the currency that can be influenced and these are not different from those that anyone can expect of any article or commodity: its price, its quantity and its quality.The component of the nominal quantity or monetary base is under the direct control of the M-Auth.
In the case the M-Auth decides to set only the national monetary policy (and consequently the monetary base is domestically determined) while allowing the exchange rate and convertibility to be out of their domain, it is considered to be operating under the " free floating system".

 The Causal Relationship between Money Base and Money Supply in Australia: 1960-1979
Australian monetary economists have for some time been intermittently concerned with the relationship between the monetary base and the money stock.
These changes are likely to have altered both the time series properties of the monetary aggregates and may also have changed the observed relationship between various measures of money base and the money stock.
Controversy has centred around a number of issues, including: the exogeneity of the money base; the substitutability of cash and other liquid assets in the management of bank's reserves; the causal significance of the budget deficit of the consolidated government sector relative to imported disturbances; and the appropriate definition of the money base in Australia.

 The Monetary Base
The implicit assumption is that credit market debt is convertible at maturity into base money, often referred to as "high-powered money." This article examines the essential features of the monetary base.
The private sector acquires base money from the spending of the Treasury.
This balanced inflow against outflow with the Treasury is a necessary condition for the central bank to manage the interbank lending rate on base money.

 Knowledge Guide to UK Bank Base Rates
The base rate is the rate at which the Bank of England lends to other financial institutions and is set by the Monetary Policy Committee in response to economic conditions.
The base rate is a rate set by the banks to price loans, and also reflects the state of the market.
In some instances the base rate data is taken from just one bank, and in other cases it is a compilation (one indicator that multiple banks have been used is that where the banks did not change rates on the same day a spread is shown, eg 5-5.25).

 Serbia Info / Facts and Figures / Monetary reform and economic recovery
The linchpin of the monetary reconstruction program and economic recovery was the new dinar, which was given parity value with the German mark, had a gold base in hard currency and was convertible.
The chief purpose of this reform was to halt the runaway inflation and stabilize the national currency, to be followed by revitalization of production and a gradual rise in the standard of living.
The economic recovery of the country was accompanied by a new tax system which took in the hitherto 'gray economy' that had benefited most from the inflationary taxation of the population at large.

 Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given the poor development of its own capital markets and Syria's lack of access to international money and capital markets, monetary policy remains captive to the need to cover the fiscal deficit.
In March 1972, to broaden the base of his government, Asad formed the National Progressive Front, a coalition of parties led by the Ba'ath Party, and elections were held to establish local councils in each of Syria's 14 governorates.
Syria is a middle-income, developing country with a diversified economy based on agriculture, industry, and energy.

 MarketVVizard's Market Thoughts
Since the monetary base (currency plus bank reserves) is the only aggregate that the Federal Reserve can directly control, I usually analyze the exchange equation using the monetary base as M. Velocity can't be observed directly (so you calculate it as nominal GDP / monetary base).
From the standpoint of the exchange equation, the drop in monetary velocity was so profound that deflation took hold despite more money chasing fewer goods.
Let's take a look at the exchange equation in terms of percentage changes (I'll use %X to mean the percent change in some variable X – to a small approximation, the percentage change in a product, say XY is equal to the sum of the percentage changes %X + %Y).

 Monetary Policy, by James Tobin: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
Monetary and fiscal policies are distinct only in financially developed countries, where the government does not have to cover budget deficits by printing money but can sell obligations to pay money in the future, like U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds.

 FRB: Speech, Meyer -- The Future of Money and of Monetary Policy -- December 5, 2001
The implications of the spread of e-money for monetary policy would arise from the substitution of e-money for both currency and deposits, shrinking the size of the monetary base.
The minimum requirement for an effective monetary policy is, therefore, the ability of the central bank to set an interest rate on balances held by banks with the central bank.
However, some countries today continue to impose constraints on discretionary monetary policy through fixed exchange rate regimes, tying their inflation rates to inflation in the country to which their exchange rate is pegged.

 Monetary policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monetary policy is associated with currency and credit.
Monetary policy can involve changing interest rates, margin requirements, capitalization standards for banks or even acting as the lender of last resort or through negotiated agreements with other governments.
The primary ways that the central bank can affect base money is by open market operations or sales and purchases of second hand government debt, or by changing the reserve requirements.

 Securitization laws and regulations - Hong Kong
Where the purchase is regarded by the HKMA as a form of credit enhancement facility to the issuer, the holding arising from the purchase may be required to be deducted from the institution's capital base (see paragraph 3 of Annex 1).
It is the Monetary Authority’s view that the concessionary risk weighting of 50% should not be applied to the subordinated tranches of any MBS issue.
For example, the HKMA will examine the extent of recourse to the seller for default assets and the subordinated interest retained by the seller.

 Brazilian real - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The real was affected by inflation during its long lifespan and the base currency unit shifted from one real to mil réis (one thousand réis) and to one conto de réis (one million réis) in the final years of the República Velha era.
The Ministry then created a non-monetary currency, the Unidade Real de Valor ("URV") which value was set to equal 1 US dollar.
All prices were quoted in these two currencies, cruzeiro real and URV, but payments had to be made exclusively in cruzeiros reais.

And it is just as clear that popular indicators like the gross domestic product are inadequate; they inform us only about monetary flows and not about the state of the environment, the destruction of resources or the quality of life.
Academic studies, whether in economics or systems theory, often tend to drift away from a base that is relevant to real problems, and an insistence of basic systems models on real world feedback is essential in minimising this risk of irrelevance.
As William Krehm (5) has emphasised, to consider economics and its reform requires attention to context - to the dominant ideas and assumptions of our culture, to the powers that be in society, to the interests and lives of citizens and to the realities of earth and biosphere on which we all depend.
