Tools of Monetary Policy
10Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Tools of Monetary Policy
I. Quantitative ToolsII. Qualitative Tools
11
Tools of Monetary Policy – cont’d
I. Quantitative Tools:
These tools are of such nature that they produce effects on whole of the economy without any distinction.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
12
I. Open Market Operations (OMO)
Meanings: Open Market Operations may be
defined as purchase and sale of government securities in the open market by the central bank. This is basically done with the objective of influencing the monetary assets of commercial bank.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
13
Open Market Operations (OMO) – cont’d
Functions:Buying Securities: State bank can buy securities either from the commercial bank or from public.
Selling Securities: Securities can be sold either to banks or to public.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
14
Open Market Operations (OMO) – cont’d
Result: When central bank buys securities from commercial banks, it pays them in money. This increases cash reserves of the commercial bank and hence their lending power increases. When it sells securities, it hands over securities to commercial banks. Commercial banks pay cash to central bank. This reduces the commercial banks cash reserves and their lending power is reduced.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
15
Effects on Interest Rate
When securities are purchased by the central bank then commercial banks end up with excessive cash reserves. In order to attract borrowers and investors they lower their interest rates.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
16
Effects on Interest Rate – cont’d
When securities are sold, this results in reduced cash reserves with commercial banks. If there is high demand for loans from borrowers and investors, the interest rate and hence cost of borrowing rises.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
17
Purpose of Open Market Operations 1. To administer and maintain the prices of
government securities.2. To create suitable climate for the floatation of new loans.3. To activate the money market.4. To manage gold inflows and outflows.5. To create climate in which other tools of
monetary policy i.e., bank rate could be used effectively.
6. To avoid sudden fluctuation in the money market.7. To support government credit.
18
Limitations / Assumptions
1. Undeveloped Market:For effective Open Market Operations
the money and capital markets must be fully developed.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
19
Limitations / Assumptions – cont’d
2. Excessive Cash Reserves:The basic rational of open market
operations is to decrease cash balances of commercial banks so as to reduce their lending power.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
20
Limitations / Assumptions – cont’d
3. Availability of Securities:For Open Market Operations to be
effective, there must be ample and adequate securities. The central bank purchases securities at high prices in order to stimulate economy and to push it out of depression or slump. On the other hand, it sells securities in order to check inflation however for all this there must be adequate amount of securities i.e., the total amount of securities must form some considerable proportion of the total excessive cash reserves.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
21
Limitations / Assumptions – cont’d
4. Economic Climate :
The economic climate of the country also determines the effectiveness of Open Market Operations.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
22
Limitations / Assumptions – cont’d
5. Willingness of Borrowers :The investors and borrowers attitude
is an important factor that can disturb the central bank plans based on open market operations. If the borrowers are discouraged and disappointed and they have become pessimist about future then they will not like to borrow or to make investment.
Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations / Assumptions – cont’d
6. Willingness of Bankers :The banker’s attitude also plays a role
in deciding the fate of open market operations.
7. Borrowings of Central Bank:The borrowings of the central bank
neutralise the effects of open market operations.
23Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Open Market Operations with Reference to Pakistan
In Pakistan the money and capital markets are not fully developed. Open Market Operations are not widely used as a chief instrument of monetary policy. There have been sales and purchases of government securities by the central bank, but these were basically done to provide timely assistance to bank.
24Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
II. Bank Rate:
Bank rate is another quantitative tool of monetary policy. Bank rate is the rate at which central bank is willing to rediscount first class bills of exchange of commercial banks or is willing to advance loans against approved securities. This rate is also called discount rate.
25Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Other Objectives:
1. To reduce consumption expenditure and to generate savings.2. To improve the country’s balance of payment position. This is done by encouraging the inflows of foreign funds and by restricting outflows.3. To reduce inflationary trends in the economy by reducing credit creating potential of commercial banks.
26Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Assumptions & Limitations :
1. Development of Capital and Money Markets2. Availability of Bills3. Economic Climate
4. Borrower’s Attitude:If due to bright future prospects, the
borrowers and investors are determined to borrow, whatever the cost, then increase in bank rate is unlikely to contract the supply of credit.
27Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Assumptions & Limitations – cont’d
5. Lender’s Attitude:The lender’s attitude can also help or
hinder central bank to produce desire results. If following their own priorities, commercial banks keep on advancing loans despite higher bank rate then such a credit control policy will be a failure.
28Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Assumptions & Limitations – cont’d
6. Absence of Excessive Cash Reserves:In order that bank rate policy be
effective and fruitful, commercial banks must not be maintaining excessive cash reserves with themselves. In such a case, they will have to rediscount bill of exchange whenever they feel need of extra reserves. Then they will be directly affected by the changes in the bank rate.
29Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Assumptions & Limitations – cont’d
7. Relationship between Rates:For bank rate policy to be affective,
there must be active relation between inter bank rates and open market rates. If changes in discount rates and other inter bank rates brings any affect on open market rates then bank rate policy can’t be used as an effective weapon to curtail credit creating powers of commercial banks.
30Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
III. Cash Reserve Requirements :
It is a well known fact that every commercial bank is required to hold certain amount of cash reserves with the central bank. This amount is expressed as a certain percentage of banks time and demand liabilities. This percentage is called cash reserve ratio.
31Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
IV. Liquidity Ratio : The cash reserve requirements which are discussed above, is a part of the overall liquidity ratio. The liquidity ratio is defined as follows: It means the percentage of total demand and time liabilities which commercial banks must keep in the form of cash, gold or approved securities.
32Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
V. Special Deposits:
Meanings: Besides reserve requirements, the central bank may call additional reserve from commercial banks. Such deposits are called special deposits and they are expressed as a percentage of bank’s liabilities. These deposits are other than operational deposits and some interest is paid on these deposits.
33Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Qualitative Tools:Quantitative weapons which have
been just discussed are of such nature that they cause affects the whole of banking system. They affect the whole economy without any distinction. Apart from these controls, there are some other weapons which can be used in such a way that only certain required sectors of the economy are affected. Such weapons are called selective or qualitative credit control weapons.
34Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Qualitative Tools – cont’d
I. Credit Rationing:Central bank does so by rediscounting bills or by providing loans and funds. Credit rationing can be used to control credit supply. In this method, the central bank specifies a maximum limit to which it is prepared to accommodate commercial banks in financial pressure. Under this method central bank can adopt following ways.1. It can restrict the amount of loan that a commercial bank can obtain from central bank.2. It may refuse to rediscount bills beyond certain amount.
35Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Qualitative Tools – cont’d
II. Credit Ceiling:Credit ceiling is another qualitative
credit control weapon. Under this central bank specifies the maximum supply of credit to the economy during a particular period.
36Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Qualitative Tools – cont’d
III. Moral Persuasion:A friendly and polite type of credit
control is called moral persuasion. Here instead of specifying a particular limit and imposing penalties, central bank requests the commercial banks to follow the general monetary policy and credit control guidance.
37Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Qualitative Tools – cont’d
IV. Direct Action:When the commercial banks continue to
avoid the instruction of central bank, the central bank can take direct action against them.
Through direct actions the central bank restricts commercial banks from expanding credit. Direct action can be taken in any of the following ways: Central bank may refuse to rediscount bills of
exchange of the defaulting commercial banks. Or it may not provide direct financial assistance, advances and loans to such commercial banks which do not follow the general monetary policy. 38
Qualitative Tools – cont’d
V. Advertisement:From time to time for general as well
as for specific purposes, the central bank publicises the objectives and goals of monetary policy. This can also increase the efficiency of the whole banking and financial infrastructure.
39Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy
1. Absence of Developed Banking System:The monetary policy is effective only
when practised in a developed economy where money and capital markets are working efficiently.
40Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy – cont’d
2. Not Applicable for Foreign Banks:Another limitation is that central
bank can’t always exercise its extensive and special powers against all banks especially against foreign banks.
41Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy – cont’d
3. Conflicting Objectives:Sometimes the situation is such that
monetary policy is required to achieve two conflicting objectives. For instance if an underdeveloped country is experiencing high rate of inflation then economic development and price stability both are needed at the same moment.
42Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy – cont’d
4. Large-Scale Deficit Financing:Monetary policy is also affected by the
size of the Public Sectors, Borrowing Requirements (PSBR) or by Public Sector Debt Repayment (PSDR). Where the government is borrowing heavily and running a budget deficit, monetary policy will find it difficult to achieve the objective of controlling credit in the economy.
43Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy – cont’d
5. Position of Bank Reserve:If commercial banks are holding
excessive amount of reserves with themselves then monetary policy can’t effectively work.
44Prof. Riaz Ahmed Mian, HCBF, University of the Punjab
Limitations of Monetary Policy – cont’d
6. Economic Situation:Economic situation also determines the
success of monetary policy. If monetary situation is stable and businessman is optimistic about the future, he will continue to borrow from banks despite the high cost of borrowing.
