Housing and Residential Mortgage Markets in 1967 HOUSING STARTS have shown a substantial recovery this year. The resulting expansion of spending for new residential struc­ tures, which is still continuing, has provided an important stimu­ lus to general economic activity. It has also helped to offset the sharp readjustment in business inventory accumulation and the moderate slackening in spending for private nonresidential con­ struction, both of which were tending to restrain growth in the economy as a whole during the first half of the year. The financial groundwork for the recovery in housing was laid in late 1966, when credit markets eased generally and the avail­ ability of residential mortgage funds began to improve. Net in­ flows of savings to the types of lenders traditionally most active in the residential mortgage market began to expand appreciably at that time. This marked a reversal of the drastic shrinkage in such flows that had occurred earlier in 1966. By early spring of 1967 inflows to these lenders had reached a record rate, and they rose further through August. Residential mortgage lending and housing starts did not recover so promptly as did the funds available to mortgage-lending institu­ tions, or in proportion to their record amount. But a lag of one or more quarters is to be expected between a substantial easing in underlying credit conditions and a marked improvement in the actual rate of housing starts. The lag reflects the time required by lenders, builders, and buyers to begin to readjust plans in line with 1471 Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

1472 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN ■ SEPTEMBER 1967 a shift in financial resources. Even under ordinary circumstances it takes time to negotiate new loan commitments and to reassemble the physical factors of production. In 1967 the usual lag of hous­ ing starts behind increased credit flows was intensified somewhat by dislocations growing out of the large cutback in the flow of housing credit and building activity that had occurred in 1966. .

As a result, although the seasonally adjusted rate of net expan­ sion in residential mortgage debt increased sharply during the first half of 1967, it was still below the high of the fourth quarter of 1965. Housing starts, including farm starts, showed much the same pattern. By August they had risen to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.38 million units—three-fifths above the morethan-20-year low to which they had fallen last October—but they were still appreciably below the level from which the 1966 decline had begun. Because completions of new dwellings based on earlier starts have remained unusually low in 1967, growth in households has been accommodated to a greater extent than in other recent years through net absorption of older vacant dwellings. With consumer incomes rising further, basic demands for existing houses have continued to expand and pressures on the inventory of housing have increased. As a result vacancy rates have dropped to the lowest levels in quite a few years, and housing prices and rents have risen further.

HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE MARKETS 1473 Reflecting the tendency for housing starts to lag changes in credit conditions, it was not until May 1967 that the housing recovery process generated sufficient momentum to reach a seasonally adjust­ ed annual rate of starts in excess of 1.2 million units. But by that time—even though monetary policy remained easy—continued heavy borrowing by businesses and State and local governments and the prospect of an unprecedented near-term volume of Fed­ eral deficit financing were also leading to a sharp general upturn in yields on long-term bonds. While these higher rates soon began to be reflected in higher costs of mortgage funds and greater selectivity by lenders, net savings flows to mortgage lenders remained in near-record volume through August, and mortgage loan commitments continued to rise. Given the lag between changes in underlying financial con­ ditions and changes in housing starts, it appears likely that the backlog of mortgage loan commitments, the improved level of building permits, and other factors will maintain housing starts at an active pace over the rest of 1967. MORTGAGE MARKETS Because of the inherent sensitivity of housing activity to changes in general credit conditions, it was logical to expect a substantial decline in residential activity over the course of 1966, when na­ tional resources were under very strong demand pressures and credit for a time therefore became increasingly stringent. Likewise, when demand pressures lessened in late 1966 and credit conditions eased, a revival in housing activity became likely. Housing market activity is especially sensitive to credit changes because it involves a long-lived, high-cost good that is produced in limited annual volume in relation to the existing stock and is typi­ cally financed almost entirely on long-term credit. When competi­ tion for available credit becomes heavy and pressures on over-all resources are great, effective demands for both new and used dwell­ ings tend to slow down much faster than those for most other types of consumer and producer durable goods. But when such pressures recede, accumulated backlogs of housing demands can be financed more readily; this is true not only for new construction but also for transfers of existing homes, on which the sales of many new houses depend. Savings flows. Easing of pressures on mortgage lenders in late 1966 occurred at different times and in different degrees for dif­ ferent types of institutions.

1474 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 or more of all net nonfarm residential mortgage credit, improved first. At mutual savings banks, some improvement occurred as early as the third quarter of 1966, following a general increase in rates on savings bank deposits to 5 per cent from the range of 4^ to 4% per cent that had prevailed earlier. Net inflows to savings and loan associations—the dominant housing lender—showed initial improvement in the final quarter of 1966. By then interest rates on competitive market securities had begun to recede from their highs of August-September 1966, and steps had been taken to curb interest-rate rivalry among depositary-type lenders through implementation of the interest-rate-ceiling legislation enacted in September 1966. Sharp further improvement of net savings flows to thrift institu­ tions, plus some apparent improvement in reflows from existing loans and investments, continued through August 1967. Gross in­ flows of savings to such lenders expanded to new highs as consumer income and savings increased further and as returns offered to savers continued sufficiently high to remain attractive, despite an upturn after late spring in competitive yields on market instru­ ments. As a result, net savings inflows soared to a record rate by the first quarter of 1967 for mutual savings banks and by the second quarter for savings and loan associations. Altogether, the combined net inflow of savings in the second quarter of this year to the two types of thrift institutions was more than five times the drastically reduced total in the same period a year earlier. For commercial banks—a mortgage lender with more diversi­ fied investment alternatives—expansion in the types of savings funds that these institutions are most likely to invest in residen­ tial mortgages began to be evident near the end of 1966. At that time acquisitions of consumer-type time deposits—on which the maximum interest rate that banks could pay was rolled back dur­ ing the fall of 1966—resumed their growth as money market yields declined abruptly. And after the turn of the year growth of pass­ book savings accounts also picked up. In the first quarter of 1967, the two types of deposits taken together more than doubled the rate of increase recorded in the final quarter of 1966. They main­ tained an advanced pace during the second quarter and into the third, even though short-term market rates of interest reversed direction and rose after midyear. At life insurance companies, cash flows available for invest­ ment recovered more slowly than those for other major types of private mortgage lenders. The reason was that loan repayments Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Although premium re­ ceipts and investment income received by these companies con­ tinued to grow during the first half of 1967, investment funds from other sources ran below year-earlier levels. Initial lags. It took some months for the increase in flows of loan­ able funds to thrift institutions during late 1966 to be translated into a firm upturn in outstanding commitments on residential and nonresidential mortgages. For lenders reporting commitment data, takedowns of old mortgage commitments continued through December to exceed the rate at which new commitments were being made. One reason for the delayed upturn in mortgage commitments CHANGES AT SAVINGS BANKS stemmed from needs by institutions to rebuild depleted liquidity BILLIONS OF positions. Through most of 1966, liquidity had been drawn down sharply by a drastic decline in the growth of lender funds available to meet an unusually large volume of outstanding loan commit­ ments assumed under easier market conditions. This fact, plus initial uncertainties near the year-end on the business and credit outlook, led many lenders to place greater emphasis on repaying '■so' 1 ‘ lies ’ 1 ij indebtedness and limiting new longer-term lending commitments, Flow of funds data. Corporate bonds include non-Government-insured cap­ including those for mortgages. ital market instruments. Partly in response to these factors, mutual savings banks as early as the third quarter of 1966 began to place a larger than usual share of their net assets in securities of corporations and in other non-Government-insured capital market instruments. Their invest­ ments in these short- and long-term securities, which are more readily marketable than mortgages, picked up further in the fourth quarter of last year, as the chart shows. For savings and loan associations, which have more limited in­ vestment alternatives, considerations of liquidity and relative costs CHANGES AT S & L’s led to a rapid reduction in debt owed to the Federal Home Loan TCiwrjriJBtBiK Bank System. The volume of such indebtedness, after expanding sharply during 1966 to meet withdrawals of shares and the initial heavy volume of mortgage commitments carried over from 1965, was at a record high in late 1966. Its cost was near record levels both absolutely and in relation to the return available from new mortgage loans and the cost of additional share capital. Savings and loan associations during the fourth quarter of 1966 accordingly reduced FHLB indebtedness at an annual rate of about $2 billion.

1476 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 and inflows of funds improved further as aggressive easing in credit MORTGAGE COMMITMENTS conditions was accompanied by a sharp decline in interest rates on market securities. Lenders then began to enter into new mort­ gage commitments at a faster rate than old commitments were being taken down. Outstanding mortgage commitments according­ ly picked up in January, for the first time in 8 months, to herald a recovery in mortgage lending. They continued to rise with little interruption through July, the latest month for which data are Commitments outstanding at report­ available.

Lender acquisitions of new mortgage loans always lag behind loan commitments. But for a number of reasons, the volume of mortgages acquired by lenders in the early months of 1967 remained unusually low relative to the expanding flows of funds available to them. Even under normal conditions, there is a seasonal lull in real estate activity during the winter for builders of new dwellings and buyers of new and existing homes. This past winter’s lull was greater than usual owing to the already sharply reduced pace of housing market activity that stemmed from the curtailment of mortgage commitments earlier in 1966. As a result, even though there was a more than seasonal rise during the first quarter of 1967 as a whole, generation of new mortgage loans was severely limited late last year and early this year. Hesitancy on the part of would-be borrowers to apply for new mortgage commitments—at a time when further easing in prevail­ ing terms seemed in prospect and seasonal demands tend to be especially low—also contributed to the lagged growth of mortgage lending and housing activity early in 1967. This occurred especial­ ly in the single-family home market where demands for new homes had not been very strong, even during the unusually easy market conditions that had prevailed through the first half of the 196O’s. It was some time before home buyers became aware of the fact that mortgage funds had become more available and that terms were more favorable. Other borrowers deferred action while mort­ gage interest rates were still declining, apparently with the hope that rates would decline further. Some potential home sellers, including builders, also appeared to be waiting for further declines in transaction costs arising from the discounts required by lenders to compensate for fixed interest rates on Government-underwritten mortgages, since liberal loans of this Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Between November 1966 and April 1967 the average discount on 6 per cent FHAinsured new-home loans traded in the secondary market declined from a high of 6.8 to 2.5 points, and discounts on existing-home loans decreased by about the same amount. Inasmuch as home sellers by regulation must initially absorb all but 1.0 point of the discount involved in the use of such mortgages, they had some financial incentive to wait as long as possible before offering their dwellings on the market in a period when discounts were falling so rapidly. Because creation of mortgage debt was thus limited in the early months of 1967, total asset growth accounted for by nonfarm residential mortgages in the portfolios of most types of lenders fell behind the still relatively large amount in the comparable period a year earlier as the table shows. Moreover, while the rate at which residential mortgage debt increased was about one-seventh larger than in the abnormally low fourth quarter of 1966, some of this increase continued to reflect a smaller than usual volume of loan prepayments rather than new debt creation.

As a result, yields required by lenders both on conventional home mortgages made in the primary market and on Government-underwritten loans traded in the secondary market dropped more abruptly between November 1966 and April 1967 than in any similar 5-month period following earlier postwar interest rate peaks. With yields on new issues of high-grade corporate bonds dropping even faster during January and February than yields on mortgages, the aver­ age yield differential between FHA-insured home loans and new corporate bonds rose to the widest margin in 4 years.

But in April bond yields began to rise quite sharply, as the pros­ pect of large Federal deficit financing later in the year was added to the already heavy volume of corporate and State and local govern­ ment borrowing. By May this interest-rate advance was also being reflected in the residential mortgage market, although to a more limited degree. With mortgage rates moving up more slowly than bond yields, the spread of yields on FHA-insured loans over bond yields narrowed by August to only 71 basis points—one of the smallest margins on record. To some extent this further narrowing of spreads reflected the fact that savings flows to savings and loan associations—which have few investment options other than mortgages—continued to grow and reached a new record in the spring.

At mutual savings banks, where, as already noted, savings in­ flows were also in record volume in the second quarter, the share of funds allocated to corporate and other securities increased still further. In part this reflected the continuing relative dearth of immediately available mortgages. But in addition, regulatory limi­ tations on the share of Ioans that can be legally invested outside of local markets, in combination with limitations imposed by 6 per cent usury ceilings on home mortgage rates in some of these areas and a return to large discounts on Government-underwritten mortgages, encouraged savings banks to give more than usual emphasis to investments in new corporate bonds at the 6 per cent and higher yields that were then becoming generally available. By August the further general rise in long-term rates had carried yields on FHA-insured home loans traded in the secondary market to an estimated average of 6.60 per cent.

1480 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 was 31 basis points above the low in April, 115 basis points above the yield plateau that had prevailed from the spring of 1963 through the summer of 1965, and about 21 basis points below last November’s peak. Between April and August several developments were continu­ ing to limit housing market activity and the generation of new mortgages. With the drop in mortgage prices, average discounts on FHA-insured new-home loans rose to 5.2 points in August—up 2.7 points from April—and discounts on existing-home loans rose by about the same extent. Faced with the need to absorb nearly all of the larger discounts on dwellings sold with Government-under­ written financing, some potential sellers became less willing to place their homes on the market. As borrowing costs rose on conventional mortgages too, some would-be buyers found that even greater financial resources were required to purchase and carry homes bought under this method of financing. Loan-to-value ratios and prices of houses financed with conventional first mortgages have increased further this year, with prices rising even more than loan amounts. Thus there has been an increase in both the average size of loan to be repaid and the average amount of cash or its equivalent to be paid down.

And the implied downpayment —averaging $6,200 this July on a $22,600 house—was 7 per cent larger. Government mortgage activity. With the general easing of mort­ gage markets in late 1966, net mortgage purchases by the Federal National Mortgage Association declined further. Through April 1967, as prices paid by private mortgage lenders increased rapidly, offerings of Government-underwritten loans to FNMA for pur­ chase under its secondary market operations continued to decline, even though FNMA raised its own purchase prices in February and March in an effort to stimulate housing activity further. As Chart 3 shows, this marked drop-off in FNMA activity contrasted sharply with the continued high level of mortgage offerings to FNMA when mortgage credit was tight in 1966. Heavy offerings had per­ sisted in that earlier period, even though FNMA had lowered its prices and tightened other purchasing requirements several times in an effort to discourage offerings and husband its available resources in line with its purchasing authority, which was expanded considerably further by the Congress before the end of the year. After early May 1967, when mortgage prices in the private mar­ ket began to decline in response to the trend already under way in other sectors of the capital market, offerings to FNMA again pick­ ed up quite sharply. They continued at an advanced level through late August, when FNMA reduced its purchase prices in order to bring them closer in line with prices being paid in the private market. HOUSING MARKETS Because of the dearth of new mortgage commitments late last year and early this year, private housing starts responded with some lag to the improvement in mortgage credit conditions in late 1966. Time was needed to reappraise the changing credit situation and to reassemble construction resources that had been diverted elsewhere during the summer and autumn of 1966. Nevertheless, builders, buyers, renters, and investors began to show some renew­ ed interest in the housing market during the winter, and the actual volume of new starts declined less than normally. As a result, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for starts advanced irregularly from the unusual low reached in October. During the first quarter of 1967 the rate of starts showed a further pick-up.

By July the rate of starts had advanced still further to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.36 million units, and it edged higher in August. The turnaround in housing starts this year has been broadly based. Starts of dwellings in multifamily structures—which showed a larger percentage decline last year than single-family starts— reversed direction in the same month of 1966 that single-family starts did. Since then they have climbed relatively more. By July they had moved close to their 1965 rate, as Chart 4 shows, and in August they improved further. Ever since 1959 the more dynamic multifamily component—which can be extremely volatile, because of the random number of units involved in any given structure— has tended to dominate fluctuations in the level of total starts.

In­ creases in land prices, building costs, and home prices have also tended to favor multifamily projects. Recovery in housing starts has also been widespread regionally. During the first quarter of 1967, starts rose in all four major geo­ graphic regions. Improvement continued during the second quar­ ter in all regions except the Northeast; in that region activity showed a spurt in July, then receded in August.

HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE MARKETS 1483 The sharpest upturn in the first half of 1967 came in the North Central States. There starts by July had returned fairly close to the levels of 1965. But the most marked improvement during the sec­ ond quarter was registered in the West. For several years prior to 1966 housing starts in the West had trended downward, reflecting to a considerable extent a slower growth in the rate of in-migration of population than had been anticipated. In July and August, how­ ever, starts in the West increased appreciably further. Vacancies. Because the number of newly completed dwellings has been limited this year, net new households have turned to vacant existing dwellings to a larger degree than usual. Also use of mobile homes—for which factory shipments in 1966 again exceeded 200,000 units—has remained relatively high. This con­ trasts with earlier years of the 1960’s when some areas showed sub­ stantial overbuilding and when production of mobile homes was lower. Despite the reduced volume of new housing since early 1966, general housing shortages of the type that prevailed in the 1940’s and through the early 1950’s have not reappeared.

1484 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 recent years. In rental housing vacancy rates in the second quarter of 1967 were the lowest since early 1959. A marked reduction in vacancies occurred in the West as Chart 5 shows. In the North Cen­ tral States where a decline had been under way for a number of years, as it has in the South, the vacancy rate fell to the lowest level since 1957. In view of the still relatively limited current supply of completed new housing and the further increases in basic demand, pres­ sures for new construction and structural conversion have continued to strengthen. These pressures have been reflected by some acceler­ ation in rent increases and by further advances of prices paid in most transactions for both new and existing homes. Moreover, the cost of construction by the second quarter of 1967 showed one of the sharpest year-over-year rises in more than a decade. Such cost in­ creases have further limited the ability of the industry to provide a variety of products within an attractive range of prices and rents. Future demand. Expected increases in the adult population will inevitably add to pressures for future new construction and struc­ tural conversion. Indeed, demographic projections point to a larger growth in the adult population during the 4-year period from mid-1966 to mid-1970 than in the preceding 6 years, largely because of the high birth rate immediately after World War II. As in other recent years, a predominant share of the anticipated INCREASES IN expansion in the adult population through mid-1970 will continue POPULATION (Millions of persons, aged 20 to occur in the young and old age groups, as the table shows.

Census Bureau figures; 1966-70 are projections. One reason is that individual units in multifamily structures are generally smaller in size and less expensive to build than single­ family homes. But most important—considering the pressure on prices of land—is that they require less land per unit. Better use of land and the provision of more amenities for rental units, as well as the possibility of equity ownership of apartments in lieu of ren­ tal, can also work in this direction.

HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE MARKETS 1485 OUTLOOK FOR While the factors underlying long-run demand for housing appear REST OF 1967 to be quite strong, some uncertainties have recently developed about the prospects for mortgage credit availability and hence about the strength of effective demand for housing after 1967. Based on data available through the summer, net savings inflow —particularly for savings and loan associations as well as other depositary-type lenders—have remained strong. On balance, too, reported backlogs of outstanding mortgage commitments con­ tinued to expand through July, and building permits were sus­ tained at or above earlier improved rates through August. Given the tendency for housing starts to lag behind changes in credit con­ ditions, these developments suggest that housing starts, despite pos­ sibly volatile month-to-month fluctuations, are likely to continue their general upward momentum through the rest of the year. Be­ yond that, the extent of further recovery will, of course, continue to depend on the impact of interim changes in national economic policies and changes in the degree of pressure of aggregate private and Government demands on available resources in the economy as a whole.

By late April, 3-month deposits were quoted at 411/ig per cent, lower than at any time in 1966 and 216 percentage points below their peak of late November. This sharp decline in rates reflected, in addition to the usual seasonal pattern, decidedly easier monetary conditions in the United States and Germany and to a lesser extent in other countries. By the end of the first quarter U.S. banks had reduced their liabilities to foreign branches, mainly in London, by some $1,250 million from the mid-December peak, while Ger­ man and Swiss institutions had added sub­ stantially to their net foreign currency assets abroad.

Record of Policy Actions of the Federal Open Market Committee Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market Committee at each meeting, in the form in which they will ap­ pear in the Board’s Annual Report, are now being released ap­ proximately 90 days following the date of the meeting and are subsequently being published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin. The record for each meeting includes the votes on the policy de­ cisions made at the meeting as well as a resume of the basis for the decisions. The summary descriptions of economic and finan­ cial conditions are based on the information that was available to the Committee at the time of the meeting, rather than on data as they may have been revised since then. Policy directives of the Federal Open Market Committee are issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York-—the Bank selected by the Committee to execute transactions for the System Open Market Account. Records of policy actions for the first four meetings held in 1967 were published in the Bulletin for July, pages 1115-51. The record for the meeting held on May 2, 1967, was published in the Bulletin for August, pages 1326-32, and the record for the meeting held on May 23, 1967, follows: 1546 Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 1547 MEETING HELD ON MAY 23, 1967 1. Authority to effect transactions in System Account. The latest reports on recent economic developments were somewhat less favorable than earlier. Nevertheless, staff projec­ tions continued to suggest some rise in real GNP in the second quarter and a more rapid advance in the third. Retail sales data for February had been revised downward, and figures for March revealed that the expansion in sales then had been smaller than had been indicated by the earlier advance estimate. The Commerce Department’s estimate of GNP for the first quarter had been reduced somewhat, as a downward revision in consumer expenditures on nondurable goods was only partly offset by upward revisions in defense outlays and net exports. The new estimates indicated that real GNP had declined slightly in the first quarter rather than remaining stable. In April total retail sales were about unchanged, according to the advance estimate, although sales of new automobiles rose moderately. Industrial production declined slightly, and employ­ ment in manufacturing fell further. On the other hand, housing starts in April—while moderately below the first-quarter average —were sufficiently high to suggest that the large rise in starts usual in the spring season was likely to occur this year. The rate of business inventory accumulation, which had de­ clined sharply in February, fell slightly further in March and for the first quarter as a whole it was only one-third the extraordi­ narily high rate of the fourth quarter of 1966. Staff projections now suggested the possibility of small net inventory liquidation in the second quarter and some further decumulation in the third. While inventory adjustments were retarding industrial activity currently, by the third quarter their depressant influence was expected to be considerably reduced. Final sales had expanded substantially in the first quarter, with Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

1548 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 increases in outlays by Federal, State, and local governments accounting for an 'nusually high proportion—about half—of the rise in the total. It 'ppeared likely that expansion in final sales would remain substa tial in the second and third quarters, with defense expenditures c ntinuing to exceed earlier estimates, State and local government utlays expanding sharply further, and consumer expenditures ri ng somewhat faster than earlier in the year. Prospects continued ' favor expansion in residential con­ struction but little change in 'xed capital outlays by business. Despite upward pressures o^ unit labor costs in manufacturing, average industrial prices had bt m stable since early in the year. Recent sharp reductions in prices of farm products and foods had resulted in a decline in the total wholesale price index and an appreciable slowing in the rate of increase in average consumer prices. The earlier marked expansion in output of livestock products had begun to taper off, however, and by summer or autumn supplies of many livestock products were expected to return to about their levels of a year earlier. As a result, it seemed likely that average wholesale prices of farm products and foods would stabilize or rise soon, and that retail food prices would advance more than seasonally by summer. The deficit in the U.S. balance of payments in the first quarter was officially estimated at $540 million on the “liquidity” basis, compared with $450 million in the fourth quarter of 1966. A substantial increase in the merchandise trade surplus was more than offset by the combination of an unusually large rise in out­ flows of private U.S. capital into foreign securities and the absence of official debt prepayments in the first quarter. Tentative estimates suggested that the rate of deficit increased in April. The deficit on the “official reserve transactions” basis had been enlarged in recent months as a result of repayments by U.S. banks of earlier borrowings through their foreign branches. In the first quarter the official settlements deficit was estimated at a record $1.8 billion, compared with a level close to zero in the Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

On May 4 the Bank of England reduced its discount rate for the third time in 1967, to 516 per cent, and on May 11 the German Federal Bank made the fourth such reduction, to 3 per cent. The National Bank of Belgium also had recently lowered its discount rate further. In the recently completed Treasury refunding, $3.4 billion of publicly held securities maturing in May and June and $1.3 billion of securities maturing in August were exchanged for $2.0 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, of the new 15-month and 5-year notes. The redemptions of May and June maturities for cash were somewhat larger than had been generally expected, but the volume of August maturities exchanged for the 5-year note also was greater than anticipated. System open market operations since the preceding meeting of the Committee had been directed at maintaining an “even keel” in the money market during the Treasury financing. At member banks average free reserves were somewhat larger in the first 3 weeks of May than in April, and borrowings were moderately smaller. Federal funds traded in a narrow range around the 4 per cent discount rate, about the same as in April, while interest rates on most types of short-term market instru­ ments moved lower. Demands for Treasury bills remained strong and the rate on 3-month bills declined 25 basis points further, to 3.50 per cent. On the other hand, major banks raised their offer­ ing rates on large-denomination CD’s, particularly on those of longer maturity. Yields on long-term securities continued to rise, under the influence of heavy current and prospective offerings of new issues and—despite some dampening of the earlier marked optimism— investor confidence that economic expansion would become more vigorous later in the year.

1550 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 bond yields reached new highs for 1967, and some long-term rates were approaching the peaks recorded in the summer of 1966. The decline in mortgage yields slowed in April despite con­ tinuing large inflows of funds to depositary-type institutions, and in early May there were scattered reports of slight rises in secondary-market yields on Federally underwritten mortgages on homes. Although interest rates on mortgages had fallen con­ siderably since turning down in November 1966, they were still high relative to the level from which their advance had started in the summer of 1965. At commercial banks growth in business loans had slowed markedly since the mid-April tax date. The volume of largedenomination CD’s outstanding declined over the same period. As a result of further growth in other types of time and savings deposits, however, the total of such deposits was continuing to expand rapidly; new staff projections suggested that from April to May time and savings deposits would rise almost as fast as they had from March to April. As before, the projections for May allowed for a sharp decline in Government deposits and sizable increases in private demand deposits and the money supply. For total member bank deposits—the bank credit proxy —the range of expected growth in May had been narrowed some­ what, to an annual rate between 3 and 4 per cent. In June the proxy was projected to rise at an annual rate in the 4 to 7 per cent range if money market conditions were unchanged. Growth in time and savings deposits was expected to be maintained at its recent pace. Further sharp declines in Government deposits and sharp increases in private demand deposits and the money supply were anticipated. In the course of the Committee’s discussion it was noted that, while prospects favored resumption of economic expansion later in the year, the current situation was characterized by various cross currents and uncertainties. The Committee concluded that Digitized for FRASER https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 1551 under these circumstances it would be desirable to maintain prevailing conditions in the money market. A considerable amount of concern was expressed in the dis­ cussion about the recent marked increases in long-term interest rates. Some members noted that further rises might result in slowing the expected economic upturn, especially in the housing sector. The Committee concluded, although some reservations on the matter were voiced, that a constructive influence might be exercised by more extensive resort to purchases of longer-term Government securities in meeting part of the needs for bank reserves that were expected to arise in the next several weeks. In particular, it was believed that some purchases of coupon issues, if and when feasible in the course of reserve-supplying operations in the coming period, could serve to lighten somewhat the market supplies of Government securities in the maturity ranges in which such supplies were the heaviest. It was also noted that this substitution of purchases of coupon issues for bill purchases could be important for balance of payments reasons, as a means of reducing downward pressures on bill rates. The Committee members made clear that such purchases of coupon issues should not be directed at maintaining any particular level or maturity pattern of interest rates. The following current economic policy directive was issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York: The economic and financial developments reviewed at this meeting suggest that renewed economic expansion later in the year is in prospect. Output is still being retarded by adjustments of excessive inventories, but growth in final demands, particularly Government, continues strong. Average wholesale prices have declined recently, but unit labor costs in manufacturing have risen further. Bank credit expansion has slowed in recent weeks from its earlier rapid rate. Long-term interest rates have continued to rise under the influence of heavy securities market financing, but short-term yields have declined further. Some further reductions have been made in foreign central bank discount rates. The balance of pay­ ments deficit has remained substantial despite some improvement in the foreign trade surplus.

1552 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN • SEPTEMBER 1967 Committee’s policy to foster money and credit conditions, including bank credit growth, conducive to renewed economic expansion, while recog­ nizing the need for progress toward reasonable equilibrium in the country’s balance of payments. To implement this policy, System open market operations until the next meeting of the Committee shall be conducted with a view to main­ taining the prevailing conditions in the money market, while utilizing operations in coupon issues in supplying part of reserve needs. Votes for this action: Messrs. Martin, Brimmer, Daane, Maisel, Mitchell, Robertson, Scanlon, Sherrill, Swan, Wayne, and Treiber. Vote against this action: Mr. Francis. In dissenting from this action, Mr. Francis expressed the view that monetary policy had been highly stimulative thus far in 1967, that fiscal policy was providing an increasing stimulus, and that the economy was responding relatively quickly. On the grounds that a marked increase in demands for goods and services was likely later in the year and that monetary policy actions had their main effects after some time lag, he thought some firming in the money market should be sought now to guard against the development later of excessive demands and associated inflationary pressures. 2. Ratification of amendments to authorization for System foreign currency operations. At this meeting the Committee ratified actions taken by the members on May 12, 1967, amending paragraphs 1A and 2 of the authorization for System foreign currency operations, effec­ tive May 17, 1967. The first of these paragraphs was amended to add Danish kroner, Norwegian kroner, and Mexican pesos to the list of foreign currencies in which System operations were authorized.

The Committee had considered the possibility of expanding the System’s network of swap arrangements to include the central banks of Denmark, Norway, and Mexico at a number of recent meetings, and it had authorized the Special Manager of the System Open Market Account to hold discussions with officials of those central banks looking toward the negotiation of arrange­ ments between their banks and the Federal Reserve.
