| | Monetary policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Monetary policy is associated with currency and credit. | | | Monetary policy is the government or central bank process of managing money supply to achieve specific goals—such as constraining inflation, achieving full employment or economic growth. | | | Monetary policy can be implemented by changing the proportion of total assets that banks must hold in reserve with the central bank. |

| | 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. | | | Injections of new spending would be futile and inflationary. | | | Here is the crucial issue: Expansionary monetary policy, all agree, increases aggregate spending on goods and services—by consumers, businesses, governments, and foreigners. |

| | Monetary policy in the remaining months of 1995 and 1996 will aim for a sharp reduction in the expansion of net credit of the banking system of government, limiting it to 2.2% of estimated GDP in 1995, and to 1.4% of projected GDP in 1996. | | | The government is committed to continue having a monetary policy which will over-ride the requi rements of the government budget, the foreign exchange budget and the annual production and investment targets. | | | Traditionally, monetary policy has not been traditionally used to encourage domestic savings; allocate credit; adjust the levels of aggregate demand, investment or imports, or influence the rate of inflation. |

| | RBA: About Monetary Policy |
| | Sound financial policy requires that the Government fully fund any budget deficit by issues of securities to the private sector at market interest rates, and not borrow from the central bank. | | | Changes in monetary policy mean a change in the operating target for the cash rate, and hence a shift in the interest rate structure prevailing in the financial system. | | | It publishes four Statements on Monetary Policy each year, which contain a detailed analysis of the economy and financial markets, and an account of the considerations for the policy stance adopted by the Bank. |

| | The object of monetary policy is to influence the performance of the economy, as reflected in such factors as inflation, economic output, and employment. | | | 94-13 "Monetary Policy in a Low-Inflation Regime," by Timothy Cogley. | | | Output, employment, and inflation are influenced not only by monetary policy actions, but also by such factors as our government's taxing and spending policies, the availability and price of key natural resources (such as oil), economic developments abroad, financial conditions at home and abroad, and the introduction of new technologies. |

| | Economic Issues No. 15 -- Inflation Targeting as a Framework for Monetary Policy |
| | The monetary authorities must have the technical and institutional capacity to model and forecast domestic inflation, know something of the time lag between the adjustment of the monetary instruments and their effect on the inflation rate, and have a well-informed view of the relative effectiveness of the various instruments of monetary policy at their disposal. | | | The priority for economic policy in these countries should be a lasting reduction in inflation through a comprehensive program comprising a lower budget deficit, a break in borrowing from the central bank to finance government operations, and the targeting of one or more indicators to anchor inflationary expectations. | | | For these countries, conducting monetary policy in a manner consistent with inflation targeting may be an option, but only after the fiscal roots of the problem are eradicated and the rate of inflation falls to manageable levels. |

| | Classification of Exchange Rate Arrangements and Monetary Policy Frameworks -- as of June 30, 2004 |
| | Monetary policy decisions are guided by the deviation of forecasts of future inflation from the announced target, with the inflation forecast acting (implicitly or explicitly) as the intermediate target of monetary policy. | | | The system presents members' exchange rate regimes against alternative monetary policy frameworks with the intention of using both criteria as a way of providing greater transparency in the classification scheme and to illustrate that different exchange rate regimes can be consistent with similar monetary policy frameworks. | | | The exchange rate regimes are presented alongside monetary policy frameworks in order to present the role of the exchange rate in broad economic policy and help identify potential sources of inconsistency in the monetary-exchange rate policy mix. |

| | If much weight is placed on their monetary control function, the reserve requirement ratio (the ratio of banks' required reserves held at the NCB to banks' deposit liabilities) should be non-negligible, and the reserves should not be fully remunerated. | | | As a monetary control device, reserve requirements help stabilize the relationship between reserve money and broader measures of money (this is usually called the money multiplier) and increase the extent to which the demand for money responds to a change in interest rates in case of less than full remuneration of the required reserves. | | | Stage 3 is defined as the ultimate stage of economic and monetary union wherein the currencies of the participating EU countries are irrevocably locked and replaced by a single currency, the euro. |

| | Monetary Policy |
| | Contractionary or tight money policy is the reverse of an easy policy: Excess reserves fall, the money supply decreases, which raises interest rate, which decreases investment, which, in turn, decreases GDP by a multiple amount of the change in investment. | | | CYCLICAL ASYMMETRY may exist: a tight monetary policy works effectively to brake inflation, but an easy monetary policy is not always as effective in stimulating the economy from recession. | | | Although policy changes can be implemented rapidly (short administrative lag), there is a lag of at least 3 to 6 months before the changes will have their full impact. |

| | The narrowest monetary aggregate into which most conceptions of electronic cash would fall, M1, is composed of currency, traveler's checks, demand deposits, and other checkable deposits. | | | In the U.S. and other economies, banknotes and coins compose only a small percentage of what we conventionally define as "the money stock." Only the narrowest monetary aggregate, M0 - used by few except the British - is composed chiefly of metallic and paper currency [5]. | | | Hence, Dutch central bankers recognize that all electronic cash issuers, bank and nonbank alike, must be monitored by the monetary and banking authorities. |
