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.

Political Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

This research, covering two recent time periods, finds little evidence that non-enrollment-based state aid is targeted to need.

Regulation Of Government Agencies Through Limitation Riders, Neal Devins Jan 1987

Regulation Of Government Agencies Through Limitation Riders, Neal Devins

Faculty Publications

Congress often attaches limitation riders to appropriations bills to establish its policy directives. Professor Devins argues that the appropriations process is not the proper vehicle for substantive policymaking. In this article, he analyzes institutional characteristics that prevent the full consideration or articulation of policy in appropriations bills. Professor Devins also considers the extent to which Congress's use of limitation riders inhibits the effectiveness of the other branches of the federal government. Professor Devins concludes that, while Congress's use of limitation riders is sometimes necessary, Congress should be aware of the significant risks associated with policymaking through the appropriations process.
