CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the most important aspects of macro economics is monetary policy which is being used as a tool
to determine aggregate and average
figures in the economy.
This considers what determines total employment and production consumption total, investment in
raising productive capacity, and how much a country imports and exports.
It also asks what causes boom and slumps in the short run, and determines the long term growth rate
of the economy in the
general level of prices and the rate of inflation (Nwachukwu 1998; 12) macro economy considers
how these matters can and
should be influenced by government through monetary and fiscal policies.
The entire behavior of the economy is
studied. Beside, macro
economies try to solve the problem of supply issues which result due to excess demand of product
by consumers.
However, monetary policy deals directly with
control of excess money supply
in the economy.
Put differently, monetary policy refers to a combination
of measures designed to regulate the value,
supply, and cost of money in
an economy, in consonance with the expected level of activity.
For most economics like Nigeria, the objectives of monetary policy include price stability,
maintenance of balance of payment, equilibrium, promotion of employment and
output growth and sustainable development.
These objectives are necessary for the attainment of internal and external balance and promotion of
long run economic growth
(Bright 2000:10).
Nnanna D.O 2001 rightly puts it that the success of monetary policy depends on the operating
economic development.
The institution frame work adopted, and the
choice of the instruments used"
in Nigeria the design and implementation of monetary policy is the design and implementation of
monetary policy is the
responsibility of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The mandates of the
Central Bank are specified in the CBN Act of 1958 which includes;
v Issuing of legal tender currency.
v
Maintaining external reserves to
safeguard the international of the currency.
v
Promoting
monetary stability and sound financial system.
v Acting as Bankers and financial adviser to the
federal government.
v Regulating of interest rate requires.
However, the current monetary policy frame
work focuses on the maintenance of
price stability, which the promotion of growth and employment are the secondary goals of monetary policy.
John Black 2003:235, inflation means a persistence tendency for prices and monetary way to
increase, and is measured
by the proportional changes over time in some appropriate price index, commonly a
consumer price index or a G.D.P.
deflator. In the words of Richard G. Lisped 1978:155, inflation, an increase in the level is
called INFLATION.
This inflation can only occur if all price
level has doubled. Generally,
then CBN controls the economy in the term of inflation using the monetary policy tool. It is on the
note the researcher has
decided to carry out a study on the Role of monetary policy in the control of inflation in Nigeria with reference to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
