CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 INTRODUCTION
This project will however seem not complete without reviewing the view some writers on the topic. The CBN is able to control the supply of money through this monetary policy.
According to V.A ODOZ (1990) defines monetary policy as control of money stock in order to influence other broad objectives which include price stability, high level of employment, sustainable economic growth and balance of payment these objectives are achieved through the use of aggregate instrument or tools depending on the level of economy in which monetary policy is being implemented.
According to MICHEAL P.T (2002) in his own view, he argues that monetary policy works on two principal economic variable. The aggregate supply of money in circulation and the level of economic activity in the sense that, a great money supply includes expanded activity by enabling people to purchase more goods and services.
According to ADEKUNLE F (1986) it was suggested that the reason why government attempt to control the money supply it because of its belief that it rate has an effect on the rate of inflation.
According to WILLIAM PIGOTT AND ROBERT H.S (2011) express that monetary policy refer to those action of government that affect the behavior or monetary aggregate fort example monetary base M1, M2 money apply bank credit according to them its does not mean that whenever interest rate or high or rise that monetary interest rate restrictive in an absolute sense nor that is responsible for degree of credit restrain.
According to BOOTLE (2011) in addition to credit control condition says monetary, price stability growth and balance of payment equilibrium which income distribution as other objectives. in his view, monetary policy is merely one of the general weapons which the authorities can employ to achieve these ends.
According to HOWSON J.L (1993) unlike other writers placed more emphasis on fact that monetary policy takes effect through variation in volume of purchasing power. The objectives of monetary policy stated are many and varies, the method by which it is attain can be used to reduce the volume of purchasing power in the country to check demand or should take a measure to encourage as expansion of demand by measuring the volume of purchasing power.
Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that monetary policy aim at influencing liquidity since there are many asset that are close substitute to money.
According to AHMED A (1991) note that the current state of proposal by the federal government to strife the techniques of money and credit management from the imposition of credit ceiling on banks to one which relies on the use of market based instrument is that which is commonly referred to as indirect monetary control.
He also noted in 194 and said, it become imperative to strengthen the power of the central bank of Nigeria to cover their new institution in order to enhance effectiveness of monetary policy and the regulation and the regulation and supervision of bank and non-bank financial institution Decree 24 and 25 of 1991 which could be righty described as significance legislative reforms have been promulgated to meet these urgent need.
According to FALEGAN (1987) monetary policy deals with the discretionary control of money supply by monetary authorities in order to achieve stated desired economic objectives. But why does government believes that its rate of growth has in effect in the rate of inflation, so monetary policy comprises those governments.
Also in central bank of Nigeria economic report for (1994) CBN brief 94/03 defines monetary policy as the combination of measure designed to regulate the value, supply and cost of money in an economy in consonance with the level of economic activities. An excess demand for goods and services which induce stagnation in the economy thereby, retarding growth and development.
Consequently, the monetary authorities must attempt to keep the money supply growing at appropriate rate to ensure sustainable economic growth and to maintain internal and external stability. The discretionary control of the money stock by monetary authorities involve the expansion or contraction of money influencing interest rate to make money cheaper or more expensive depending on the prevailing economic and conditions.
Judging from the above comment one can say without doubtful mind that the central play an important role in management of financial institution and economic development of the country.
