Developments In The Financial System During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Dec 1987

Developments In The Financial System During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Growth in monetary aggregates accelerated during the fourth quarter, as the narrow measure of money stock (Ml) rose substantially by 20.2 per cent, compared with 5.0 per cent in the preceding quarter. The major factors responsible for this increase were increased government reliance on bank credit to bridge budgetary gaps and the traditional seasonal rise in demand for credit by the private sector. The broad money (M2) also rose as a result of the rise in Ml and the expansion in commercial banks' time and saving deposit liabilities, following the enhanced yield on these deposits.


Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Dec 1987

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

With the emergence of the dry season and harmattan in most parts of the country, very little farming activity took place during the fourth quarter of 1987. Rather, some northern states, namely, Bauchi, Niger and Sokoto reported serious drought with grasshopper infestations which damaged thousands of hectares of farm crops. However, a total of 124,788 metric tonnes of fertilizers were distributed to farmers across the country in preparation for the next farming season. This figure represents a decrease of 41.6 per cent over the level in the preceding quarter.

Report On Retail Price Indices Of Selected Consumer Items In Lagos Area For The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Developments In Nigeria's External Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Dec 1987

Developments In Nigeria's External Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Transactions in foreign exchange through the Central Bank resulted in a net inflow of N495.7 million during the 4th quarter of 1987, as against a net inflow of Nl,184.5 million in the preceding quarter. This development increased the official reserves from N4, 159.0 million at the end of the 3rd quarter to N4,654. 7 million at the end of 1987. However the foreign exchange position was far from comfortable as the level of reserves could cover barely two months' imports.


A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi Dec 1987

A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi

Economic and Financial Review

The purpose of the paper was to throw more light on the Structural Adjustment Programme currently under implementation in Nigeria through a detailed review and appraisal of its policy framework . This was considered to be desirable in view of recent public criticisms many of which appeared not to be well informed. In a more balanced approach, the paper reviewed the benefits and costs of the Programme. Among the benefits highlighted were the removal of the overvaluation of the naira exchange rate, the boost to agricultural exports, greater industrial capacity utilization and the improved international confidence in the Nigerian economy. …


Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe Dec 1987

Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe

Economic and Financial Review

The paper reviews the current economic policy framework against the background of the economic policy regime up to 1985 and observes that the past experience justifies the current experiment with private markets as the principal mechanism for allocating resources. The paper argues that the visible hand of the government does have a supportive role, a lbeit a different one from the past. The new approach is considered as having great potential although ultimate success is as yet beset by various uncertainties as may be expected from any experiment.

Information And Herd Health Management Practices In Texas Dairies, Wayne H. Howard, Thomas O. Knight, Richard C. Shumway, Robert W. Blake, Michael A. Tomaszewski

Agribusiness

The dissemination of information by extension agents on dairy management practices used to control mastitis and the reception and use of that information by producers are investigated. Producers are surveyed to determine current practices used. The relationship between milk yield, somatic cell count, management practices, and producer and production characteristics is estimated. Subjective probabilities are elicited from "expert," extension agents, and producers concerning the impact and cost of various management practices. Subjective marginal value products and marginal input costs are computed and compared for the respondent groups. Stochastic dominance is used to rank the relative importance of the practices as …

Measuring Job Satisfaction: A Note On The Within And Between Problem, Steven E. Markham, Dow Scott Dec 1987

Measuring Job Satisfaction: A Note On The Within And Between Problem, Steven E. Markham, Dow Scott

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

An analysis of within-group and between-group sources of covariation was applied to a seven item job satisfaction measure adapted from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data were collected from 159 chemical workers. Results indicated that some satisfaction items were strongly influenced by the structure of the supervisor groups. This issue of between-versus within-group variation offers a possible explanation for low correlations in past research using job satisfaction measures.

High Price Of Housing Has Some Unseen Costs, Chester Smolski Nov 1987

High Price Of Housing Has Some Unseen Costs, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

"Affordability is the major problem in the housing industry today, at least in this part of the country. The Northeast, now the most expensive area in the nation in which to build a house, is fine for those who are sitting in their appreciating houses, but the region is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to attracting a pool of talented people to live and work here."
