D e v e l o p m e n t s in t h e U .S . B a l a n c e o f P a y m e n t s D uring the latter part of 1972 there was increasing doubt here and abroad that the changes in exchange rates effected at the end of 1971 could, even over a long period, restore reasonable balance in international trade and paym ents. Confidence was shaken by the w orsening of the U .S. trade balance and the persistence of trade surpluses in G erm any and Japan— even though it was gener­ ally accepted that the early effects of devaluation were likely to w orsen rather than im prove these im balances. Such doubts did not reach a flash point in 1972, although there were large speculative flows w hen sterling was floated in m idyear. To fend off unw anted CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES capital inflows, m any countries instituted controls and barriers of various kinds. I By early 1973 the need for further exchange-rate adjustm ent— JAPAN especially am ong the U nited States, G erm any, and Japan— was 2 IS 130 beginning to be clearly recognized, setting in m otion m assive flows of liquid funds. The changes that then occurred included the announcem ent on February 12 that the dollar w ould be devalued by 10 per cent, follow ed by further sm aller adjustm ents w hen renew ed outflows in late February and early M arch brought an upw ard float of m ost m ajor currencies against the dollar.

244 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 countries in w orld trade. On the sam e basis of com putation the G erm an m ark and the Japanese yen have been revalued upw ard by 15 and 20 per cent, respectively. A gainst the dollar these revaluations have been 30 and 37 per cent, respectively. It has proved to be extraordinarily difficult and com plex to evaluate the near-term and longer-term effects on trade flows of these unprecedented changes in exchange rates. M uch of w hat follows is an attem pt to exam ine the relative im portance of the exchange-rate changes and other factors in the decline in the U .S. trade balance in 1972. BASIC BALANCE The deficit in the sum of current-account and long-term capital transactions— the “ basic balance” — rem ained unchanged in 1972 at a little over $9 billion, far above any experienced before 1971. W ithin this aggregate, the balance on goods and services w orsened by about $5 billion w hile flows of long-term capital shifted favora­ bly by the sam e am ount. The w orsening of the trade account by $4 billion to a deficit of $6.8 billion was the m ajor feature of the year and is discussed in detail later.

There were sizable fluctuations during 1972 in the basic balance, as com puted quarterly, reflecting m ainly oscillations in flows of private long-term capital. In the fourth quarter a large net inflow of capital reduced the basic deficit to an annual rate of about $6 billion. The deficit on goods and services im proved after a peak in the second quarter and by the fourth quarter registered a rate of about $2.6 billion. M ERCHANDISE TRADE The U .S. trade deficit was $6.8 billion in 1972, about $4 billion greater than the deficit in 1971. In the 1960’s there had been an average annual surplus of $4 billion in the trade balance.

The value of im ports increased by 22 per cent in 1972, including a rise of IV2 per cent in prices (as m easured by unit values) and about W /2 per cent in volum e. Exports rose by 14 per cent in value; prices accounted for V/2 per cent of that rise. The greater rise in prices of im ports than in prices of exports accounted for roughly one-half of the $4 billion deterioration in our trade balance from 1971 to 1972. Som e of the grow th in the value of both exports and im ports reflected deliveries in early 1972 delayed from the 1 Data have been adjusted to exclude automotive exports to Canada, ex­ preceding year by dock strikes, and in the case of im ports, by ports of aircraft, and effects of dock strikes.

These special factors helped to raise the trade deficit to an annual rate of m ore than $7 billion in each of the first two quarters of 1972. The deficit appeared to be slow ly subsiding in the third quarter w hen it fell to a $6 billion rate, as exports began to m ove up at a faster pace than im ports. But in the fourth quarter the deficit rose again to an annual rate of $6% billion. E xports. An outstanding feature of exports last year was the sharp increase in shipm ents of agricultural com m odities to $9V£ billion, nearly $2 billion m ore than in 1971. A bout one-fourth of the rise resulted from higher prices (unit values). These higher prices did not cause a reduction in the volum e of purchases; rather they reflected the force of world dem and in the presence of a w orldw ide shortage of supplies of grains outside the U nited States. Shipm ents of grain to the Soviet U nion accounted for only 25 per cent of the total rise in the value of agricultural exports; m ost of the increase was in shipm ents to traditional m arkets as a result of poor harvests in other countries. Exports of nonagricultural COUNTRY SHARES OF WORLD EXPORTS com m odities— particularly m achinery and industrial m aterials— OF MANUFACTURES m w trw m rm m also increased last year, particularly in the second half, as foreign econom ic activity expanded. Prices of nonagricultural exports rose GERMANY by a m odest 2V2 per cent; the increase in volum e was about 8 per cent.

246 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 departure from the steady decline in the U .S. share from 1964 through 1971 represents a difference in U .S. exports of som ething over $1 billion com pared with the earlier trend. Som e of this im provem ent m ay have resulted from the m oderate upturn in foreign econom ic activity. But there had been cyclical variations abroad since 1964 that had not had any appreciable effect on the decline in the U .S. share of exports, so it seem s reasonable to assign a substantial part of the im provem ent in 1972 to the effects of the Sm ithsonian realignm ents upon the com petitive position of U .S. exporters.

The dollar devaluation had little visible effect on dollar prices of exports of m anufactured goods, w hich rose about in line with the rise in w holesale prices for dom estic m anufactured goods. W ith devaluation, U .S. exporters— especially those selling unique or U.S. Dept, of Commerce data. technologically superior products— could have raised their dollar prices to som e degree, not reducing their prices in term s of the revaluing currencies as m uch as they actually did. O f course, exporters choose betw een raising dollar prices and raising export volum e, depending on their judgm ents about the price elasticity of foreign dem and for their products. Either way the U .S. trade FOREIGN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION balance w ould benefit and additional producers would be induced to export to obtain the benefit of higher dollar prices and profits. H ow ever, only in the closing m onths of 1972 did dollar export prices of finished goods rise; this suggests that dom estic producers during m ost of the year were exporting goods contracted for earlier at a fixed-dollar price or felt that they could not raise their dollar prices to foreigners until business activity abroad had begun to accelerate. Though econom ic activity in foreign industrial countries expanded during 1972, it appears that industrial production for the year as a w hole rose som ew hat less than the long-term rate of grow th, and utilization of capacity was below par.

The sharp rise in im ports in 1972 was led by heavy purchases of industrial m aterials, reflecting the rapid expansion in U .S. industrial production. Im ports of petroleum rose very steeply; total consum ption of energy surged w hile U .S. petroleum output fell for the second successive year. Im ports of petroleum can be expected to increase even m ore rapidly in com ing years as dom estic needs expand further. Im ports of other m ajor categories of goods— foods, other consum er goods, capital equipm ent— also rose sharply with the rapid increases in consum ption and investm ent. In 1972 the dollar prices (unit values) of im ports of finished m anufactures— the type of im port that is likely to be m ost affected by exchange-rate changes— rose, in the aggregate, only m arginally m ore than in the two preceding years.

248 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 U.S. IMPORT PRICES countries from w hich we obtain these goods rose last year at only slightly less than the rate of increase in 1971; therefore it appears that m any foreign producers did not put into effect the advances in their dollar prices to U .S. custom ers that the exchange rate changes w ould have indicated, thereby selling at low er profit m argins than before. H ow ever, there were m arked differences in dollar price changes am ong the principal com m odity groups w ithin finished m anufac­ INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES tures. Prices of autom obiles and other consum er durable goods increased sharply, w hereas the unit values of im ported nondurable consum er goods and capital equipm ent appear to have risen less in 1972 than in 1971. In the case of capital equipm ent, dollar u.s. Dept, of Commerce data. prices rose rapidly in the second half of 1972, suggesting the com ­ pletion of deliveries under earlier contracts at fixed-dollar prices. The sm aller increase in 1972 in the dollar prices of im ported nondurable consum er goods than in other types of finished goods im ports reflects in part a grow ing im portance, as the source of such im ports, of those countries that did not change their exchange rates in 1971 against the dollar. In 1972, about one-half of our im ports of nondurable consum er goods cam e from the less-devel­ oped countries, particularly those in Southeastern A sia— Taiw an, Hong K ong, and K orea. As industrial capacities have increased, there has been a decided shift in recent years tow ard those countries and away from Japan in our im ports of durable finished goods (aside from autom obiles) as well as of nondurable goods. This shift, together with our increased requirem ent for oil, accounted for the very large increase in im ports from the developing countries of A sia and A frica, and resulted in a substantial trade deficit with them in 1972. This is a m arked and perhaps a longlasting reversal from the custom ary sizable trade surpluses that the United States had previously recorded with these countries. U nit-value indexes for im port categories other than finished m anufactures— that is, for foods and industrial m aterials— rose m ore strongly in 1972 than in the preceding year. Som e of the increase in dollar prices was probably related to the changes in exchange rates, even though the m ajor part of these im ports com es from countries whose currencies stayed in line with the dollar. The realignm ents led to a rise in dollar prices of w orld-traded com m odities in som e cases because countries raised their dollar export prices to m aintain the purchasing pow er of their earnings in term s of revaluing countries’ currencies, and in part sim ply because buyers in revaluing countries w ere w illing to m aintain their outlays in their ow n currencies. H ow ever, m uch of the price increase was related to supply lim itations in the U nited States or abroad and to the strengthening in w orld econom ic activity, espe­ cially strong dem and in the U nited States.

U.S. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS 249 It is not possible to identify with precision that part of the price changes that was directly connected with changes in exchange rates. Som e of the m ore rapid increase in the price of U .S. im ports of durable m anufactures— and in prices of foods and m aterials— was undoubtedly a reflection of these changed exchange rates. A rough approxim ation would be that higher prices resulting from changes in exchange rates added betw een $1 billion and $2 billion to the value of im ports in 1972. Som e of these adverse price effects will be offset through a decreased volum e of im ports over tim e. D uring 1972 such changes in volum e were probably just beginning. A necessary condition for a devaluation to be effective is the availability of a sufficient supply of a satisfactory dom estically produced substitute so that consum ers can, to som e extent, shift their purchases aw ay from the foreign product. The speed with w hich dom estic producers react to their new m arketing opportunities by producing such substitutes (as well as reactions by foreign suppliers) determ ines how long it will be before the effects of a devaluation are felt. As a consequence of the variation in responses by dom estic producers of various types of goods, the im pact of the Sm ithsonian A greem ent on the volum e of im ports seem s to have been m ixed. So far, the greatest effect on im port volum es of the devaluation appears to have been in dem and for autom obiles and som e other consum er durable goods. Last year sales of foreign cars in the U nited States rose only slightly and their share of the U .S. autom obile m arket declined for the first tim e since 1962. Sales of the new dom estic subcom pacts expanded by 20 per cent last year, w hile sales of the three leading foreign m odels declined by 5 per cent. From M arch 1971 to January 1973 the retail prices of dom estic subcom pacts rose only m argin­ ally— by about 2 per cent; retail prices of the leading foreign m akes increased betw een 8 and 13 per cent, m aking their prices equal to or slightly above those of dom estic cars. W ith the devaluation of February 12, the price disparity should w iden further this year in favor of the dom estic m odels if U .S. car producers can succeed in m aintaining their prices at or near present levels. Color television sets appear to furnish another exam ple of con­ sum ers responding to the grow ing price disparity betw een foreign and dom estic m akes by switching som e of their purchases to the dom estic product. In 1972 the im port share in total U .S. retail sales of color television sets fell for the first tim e since the m id-1960’s. It appears that the availability of cheaper dom estic sets— resulting, in part, from the beginning of production of tele­ visions in the U nited States by a subsidiary of a Japanese m anu­ facturer— was the predom inant reason for the drop in the im port share.

250 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 For a num ber of other item s, how ever, im ports continued in heavy volum e at higher prices follow ing the devaluation. These item s can be divided into two groups. The first includes products for w hich U .S. production has virtually disappeared; hence im ports provide alm ost the entire supply available on dom estic m arkets (including m otorcycles, tape recorders, radios, 35-m m . cam eras, sm all electronic desk calculators, and so forth). The second includes item s for w hich there is a dom estic production base but for w hich output either did not expand sufficiently to m eet rapidly grow ing dem and— such as bicycles— or did not shift in structure to m eet the changing requirem ents of custom ers. For exam ple, dom estic dem and for radial tires has been estim ated at about 14 m illion tires, but U .S. output of such tires is estim ated to have been less than half of that. Im ported tires— valued at nearly $400 m illion in 1972— not only m ade up the difference but also provided sm all­ sized replacem ent tires for m ore than 9 m illion foreign cars regis­ tered in the United States, a m arket that has been neglected by U .S. producers. A nother case is that of textile m achinery. Im ports of textile m achinery increased by m ore than 30 per cent in 1972 to nearly half a billion dollars as the need for the specialized m a­ chinery used in m aking the popular double-knit fabrics exceeded the ability of dom estic producers to provide such equipm ent. Over all it appears that, as a result of the devaluation, the volum e of im ports last year m ay have been about %l/i billion less than it w ould otherw ise have been. This positive effect is, of course, outw eighed by the estim ated negative price effect of $1 billion to $2 billion discussed earlier. Thus, on balance, it appears that the initial effect of the devaluation on im ports was adverse, as expected, and that it raised the value of im ports by approxim ately $1 billion in 1972. The dom inant factor in the steep expansion in im ports last year was the exceptionally vigorous grow th in dom estic econom ic ac­ tivity. Real G N P in the U nited States rose by 6.4 per cent— m ore CHANGES IN U.S. IMPORTS AND GNP than twice the 1971 rise and the largest rise since 1966. M ost other aggregate m easures of the econom y also showed the largest im provem ent since the m id-1960’s. It is characteristic that w hen dom estic production and consum ption advance this sharply, im ports rise by an even greater am ount (see accom panying chart).

U.S. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS 251 the expansion in dom estic dem ands, with the greatest effect on im ports of industrial m aterials. To sum m arize, it appears that the principal factor in the $4 billion w orsening in the U .S. trade deficit last year was the resurgence in dom estic dem and, while dem and abroad expanded m ore m oder­ ately and output was still below the long-term trend. These cyclical m ovem ents were responsible for m ore than half of the total increase in the trade deficit in 1972. The net effect of the exchange-rate changes of 1971 appears to have been neutral or only m oderately adverse. W hile the value of im ports was boosted by higher dollar prices resulting from the devaluation, this increase was partly offset by volum e declines in som e im port categories. The effect of the exchange-rate changes on exports was favorable, perm itting som e dollar price advances and halting the dow nw ard drift in the U .S. share of world exports of m anufactured goods. The net effect of special factors in 1972— som e adverse and som e favorable— including dock strikes, im port surcharges in 1971, and a bulge in exports of agricultural com m odities, was probably not significant. Oil im ports were also beginning a sharp rise; in 1972 they were up $1 billion, com pared with a rise of half a billion dollars in 1971. A large part of the rest of the trade deterioration last year— about $1 billion— reflects the continuation of conditions that have been w orsening our trade balance for som e tim e, and that can be affected only with som e delay by changed cost-price rela­ tionships. These include the increased capability of som e of the less-developed countries to supply a wide range of m anufactures and the need for dom estic producers to adjust their product lines to m eet changing com petitive conditions. SERVICES AND Net receipts in 1972 from services, m ilitary transactions, and MILITARY TRANSACTIONS investm ent incom e were reduced by nearly $1 billion from their record level in 1971. The m ain negative factors were a drop in deliveries under m ilitary sales contracts and a rise of alm ost $1 billion in incom e paym ents to foreigners— principally interest paid on official foreign holdings of assets in the United States. M ilitary expenditures abroad were only slightly reduced in dollar term s as higher costs, including the effect of changes in exchange rates, offset savings from troop w ithdraw als. D espite— or because of— the rise in foreign currency values there was a strong increase in the dollar am ount of U .S. tourist expenditures, m ainly in Europe, probably reflecting rising U .S. incom es. Receipts of incom e and fees from U .S. direct investm ents abroad rose by nearly $1 billion last year, on top of a $1.5 billion rise in 1971. These receipts have alm ost doubled since 1966.

CAPITAL FLOW S Recorded private capital flows in 1972 show a net inflow of $2.2 billion— a m arked contrast to the net outflow of $14.2 billion recorded in 1971, not including errors and om issions (Table 2). M ajor factors acting on all types of flows were the restoration of a degree of confidence in the stability of exchange rates and in the grow ing strength of the U .S. econom y, coupled, as the year progressed, with rising U .S. short-term interest rates. By far the largest recorded swing was in net flows of liquid private funds, from a net outflow of $6.7 billion in 1971 to a net inflow of nearly $5 billion last year. Fear of changes in exchange rates was not an im portant consideration during m ost of the year, and relative costs of very short-term funds in the United States and in the Euro-dollar m arket were such as to produce a sizable inflow, m ainly through the U .S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, w hich are not subject to reserve requirem ents on their borrow ings from banks abroad. In 1971, U .S. banks had been reducing their liabilities to their own branches abroad, but such liabilities changed little in 1972. A nother m ajor year-to-year gain was in foreign purchases of U .S. corporate securities. Such purchases reached $4.5 billion net in 1972, alm ost double the am ount in 1971. U .S. corporations were able to sell about $2 billion of debt issues offshore, including a large am ount of convertible debentures m ade attractive by a rising U .S. stock m arket. A lso, foreigners m ade large purchases of U .S. stocks early in the year and again in the fourth quarter. Som e of this activity m ade up for relatively low inflows in 1970 and 1971, when m arkets were weak and uncertain. D irect investors accounted for about $1.8 billion of the favorable shift. Foreign concerns, m ainly Japanese, had draw n large am ounts of funds from the United States in 1971, but last year they brought in a m oderate am ount of funds. U .S. com panies with direct invest­ m ents abroad reduced their net outflows to $3.3 billion, substan­ tially less than in 1970 and 1971. The slow dow n in 1972 probably reflected in part a reaction to excess outflows the year before generated by exchange m arket uncertainty. H ow ever, data for plant and equipm ent expenditures of the foreign affiliates suggest that the m ajor influence was the earlier slow ing in econom ic activity abroad— especially affecting over-all business investm ent. Capital expenditures abroad by affiliates of U .S. firms rose only 2 per cent in dollar term s in 1972; they are projected to increase at a som ew hat faster but still m odest 9 per cent rate in 1973.

OVER-ALL BALANCE As a consequence of the favorable turn in recorded and unrecorded capital flows, the deficit on the official settlem ents basis (apart from allocations of Special D raw ing Rights) dim inished from m ore than $30 billion in 1971 to $11 billion in 1972. Of this $19 billion im provem ent more than $11 billion resulted from the shift from outflows to inflows betw een years in the recorded flow of liquid private capital, and about $7 billion resulted from the reduction in negative errors and om issions. RECENT DEVELOPM ENTS Since the turn of the year, there has been som e im provem ent in AND OUTLOOK the trade balance. The trade deficit in January and February ran at a $5.3 billion annual rate (balance of paym ents basis), com pared with a $6.7 billion rate in the final quarter of 1972. In February and early M arch this im provem ent was overw helm ed by capital outflows responding to exchange m arket uncertainties and to the rise in Euro dollar interest.rates, w hich occurred as m arket partici­ pants switched from dollars into other currencies. Inflows of foreign funds to purchase U .S. corporate stocks and offshore bond offerings were at a very high level in January and February but then declined under the influence of m arket uncertainties. As uneasiness about exchange m arkets increased, the outflow of funds from the United States spurted to m assive am ounts. In the period from the last week of January through m id-M arch the deficit on the official settlem ents basis totaled well over $10 billion. As usual, it is not possible to identify the transactions initiating the outflow, nor are recipient countries able to contribute m uch inform ation. One link in the flow of funds at the tim e is shown in the available statistics for bank positions; banks in the United States, including agencies and branches of foreign banks, increased their foreign assets (m ainly denom inated in U .S. dollars) by about $31/2 billion in the period and reduced their liabilities to banks and others abroad by m ore than $1 billion. C om m only, increases in loans to foreign banks by U .S. com m ercial banks occur as foreign banks and others draw on their existing credit lines. There is no indication that foreign exchange m arket activity by the banks for their own account was a significant factor. It rem ains an open question w hether the unidentified portion of the outflow represented activity of large U .S. or foreign corporations or of other m arket participants. A fter the announcem ent of the new m onetary arrangem ents in Paris on M arch 16, foreign exchange m arkets were relatively stable.

U.S. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS 255 a m ajor portion of the funds that left the country in 1971 and in early 1973 is a dem onstration of the com petitive pow er of the United States under the new exchange-rate relationships. This possibility has been brought into view by the cum ulative ex­ change-rate readjustm ents since 1970. To secure the benefits of the alignm ents will require, as alw ays in such cases, that the devaluing country— the United States— shows itself capable of holding dow n costs and prices and of m aintaining production at a high level of efficiency. It will also require that other countries accept and facilitate the necessary adjustm ents in trade flows. □ Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Record of Policy Actions of the Federal O pen Market C om m ittee Records of policy actions taken by the Federal Open Market Committee at each meeting, in the form in which they will appear in the Board’s Annual Report, are released approximately 90 days following the date of the meeting and are subsequently published in the Federal Reserve B u lletin . The record for each meeting includes the votes on the policy decisions made at the meeting as well as a resume of the basis for the decisions. The summary descriptions of economic and financial 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 have been published regularly in the B u lletin beginning with the July 1967 issue, and such records have continued to be published in the Board’s Annual Reports. The record for the meeting held on January 16, 1973, follows: 286 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 16, 1973 Current economic policy directive The information reviewed at this meeting suggested that growth in real output of goods and services (real gross national product) had accelerated appreciably in the fourth quarter of 1972 from an annual rate of nearly 6.5 per cent in the third quarter. Staff projections for the first half of 1973 continued to suggest that growth in real output—while slowing from the high rate that seemed indicated for the fourth quarter of 1972—would remain rapid. In December industrial production continued to expand at a fast pace, and growth from the third to the fourth quarter was substan­ tial. Total nonfarm payroll employment rose little in December, following sizable gains over the preceding 4 months. The unem­ ployment rate, at 5.2 per cent, was unchanged from November but was well below the level prevailing from June through October. According to the advance report, retail sales increased slightly in December after having declined somewhat in November; never­ theless, sales were considerably higher in the fourth quarter than in the third. Average hourly earnings of production workers advanced sharply in December. From August to December the average rate of gain was considerably higher than it had been earlier in 1972. Wholesale prices of industrial commodities increased little in December, but those of grains, livestock, meats, and other farm and food products rose very sharply, in part because of adverse weather during the autumn months. In November, when retail prices of foods had increased substantially, over-all consumer prices had continued to rise at about the same average rate as earlier in the year. The latest staff projections for the first half of 1973 were very similar to those of 4 weeks earlier although business fixed invest­ ment now was expected to expand at a somewhat faster pace, as suggested by the latest Department of Commerce survey of business spending plans. It was still anticipated that consumption expendi­ tures would remain strong, in part because of large refunds of personal income taxes withheld in 1972; that State and local government purchases of goods and services would continue to grow rapidly; and that business inventory investment would in- 287 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

288 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 crease further. The projections also suggested that outlays for residential construction would turn down. On January 11 the President announced the third phase of the economic stabilization program—which had been inaugurated in August 1971—and requested legislation to authorize extension of the program for an additional year in order to reduce inflation, minimize unemployment, and improve the Nation’s competitive position in world trade. With respect to inflation, the President established a goal of a further reduction in the over-all rate of increase in prices to 2.5 per cent or less by the end of 1973. U.S. merchandise imports rose appreciably more than exports in November, and the trade deficit increased sharply after a gradual improvement that had begun at midyear. In the fourth quarter the over-all deficit in the U.S. balance of payments was still substantial, despite large foreign purchases of U.S. corporate stocks and some inflows of liquid funds such as usually occur near the end of the year. Exchange markets had been quiet in recent weeks, and rates for the dollar against most other major currencies had changed little on balance. At U.S. commercial banks expansion in loans outstanding to businesses slowed in December from an exceptionally high rate in November, while real estate and consumer loans continued to grow rapidly. Bank holdings of U.S. Government securities again increased by substantial amounts in association with two Treasury financings during the month. Growth in the narrowly defined money stock (Mx)x accelerated sharply in December, after having been moderate on average during the August-November period; over the second half of the year growth was at an annual rate of about 8.5 per cent.2 Although a part of the growth in Mx during December could be attributed to a large increase in demand deposits of State and local govern­ ments following initial distribution of funds under the Federal Currency held outside the Treasury, Federal Reserve Banks, and the vaults of all commercial banks, plus demand deposits other than interbank and U.S. Government. 2 Growth rates cited are calculated on the basis of the daily-average level in the last month of the period relative to that in the last month of the preceding period. Moreover, they are based on revised series for the monetary aggregates, which were released to the public in early February.

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 289 revenue-sharing program, expanding transactions demands for money associated with the high and rising level of economic activity may have been a major factor. Inflows of consumer-type time and savings deposits to commer­ cial banks also accelerated in December, and the broadly defined money stock (M2)3 grew much more rapidly than in the immediately preceding months; growth of M2 over the second half of the year was at an annual rate of about 11 per cent. U.S. Government deposits declined in December, but the outstanding volume of large-denomination CD’s increased, and the bank credit proxy4 grew a little more rapidly than in November. Inflows of savings funds to nonbank thrift institutions were maintained from November to December, after having moderated earlier in the fourth quarter, and they remained large by historical standards. Contract interest rates on conventional mortgages and yields in the secondary market for Federally insured mortgages were again virtually stable in December. In capital markets the over-all volume of new public offerings of corporate and State and local government bonds was reduced substantially in December by the holidays. Although the volume was expected to rebound in January, it appeared likely to remain well below the monthly average for 1972. On December 27 the Treasury announced an auction of a long-term bond in which, for the first time, the lowest bid price accepted would be the price on all accepted tenders. In the auction, which was held on January 4, $625 million of a 20-year bond was sold at a price to yield 6.79 per cent. The Treasury was expected to announce on January 31 the terms on which it would refund securities maturing on February 15, including $4.8 billion held by the public. System open market operations since the December 19 meeting had been guided by the Committee’s decision to seek bank reserve and money market conditions that would support slower growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead than appeared to be indicated for the second half of 1972.

290 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 directed toward fostering growth in reserves available to support private nonbank deposits (RPD’s) at an annual rate within a range of 4 to 11 per cent in the December-January period, while avoiding marked changes in money market conditions and taking account of Treasury financing operations and possible credit market devel­ opments. Early in the inter-meeting period data becoming available had suggested that the rate of growth in RPD’s would be substantially above the specified range. Consequently, the System had acted to restrain expansion in reserves provided through open market operations—to the extent feasible in light of the even-keel constraint associated with the Treasury’s auction of the long-term bond—and money market conditions had firmed over the period. The Federal funds rate had risen to about 5 3A per cent in the days before this meeting from around 5V2 per cent at the time of the preceding meeting, and member bank borrowings had increased to an average of about $1,200 million in the 4 weeks ending January 10 from an average of about $600 million in the preceding 4 weeks. At the time of this meeting it still appeared that in the December-Jan­ uary period RPD’s would grow at a rate well above the specified range. Short- and long-term market interest rates in general had risen moderately further since the Committee’s meeting on December 19. In short-term markets demands for Treasury bills and some other instruments were strengthened by State and local government investment of receipts from Federal revenue sharing. On the day before this meeting the market rate on 3-month Treasury bills was 5.27 per cent, compared with 5.17 per cent 4 weeks earlier. In recognition of the substantial rise in short-term market interest rates that had occurred over recent months and the sharply increased level of member bank borrowings, Federal Reserve discount rates were raised one-half of a percentage point to 5 per cent, effective January 15. The Committee agreed that the economic situation continued to call for growth in the monetary aggregates over the months ahead at slower rates than those recorded in the second half of 1972. The members took note of a staff analysis of prospective reserve-deposit relationships, which suggested that more moderate rates of monetary growth might be achieved in the January-Feb- Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

RECORD OF POLICY ACTIONS OF FOMC 291 ruary period by fostering growth in RPD’s in that period at an annual rate within a range of 9 to 11 per cent. In view of the very rapid monetary expansion in December, however, the members concluded that open market operations should be directed at achieving still greater restraint and that reserve-supplying opera­ tions that would result in an easing of money market conditions should be avoided unless the annual rate of RPD growth appeared to be dropping below 4.5 per cent. Specifically, they decided that operations should be directed at fostering RPD growth during the January-February period within a range of 4.5 to 10.5 per cent, while continuing to avoid marked changes in money market condi­ tions. They also agreed that in the conduct of operations account should be taken of the forthcoming Treasury financing and possible credit market developments, and that allowance should be made in operations if growth in the monetary aggregates appeared to be deviating from an acceptable range. It was understood that the Chairman might consider calling upon the Committee to appraise the need for supplementary instructions before the next scheduled meeting if significant inconsistencies appeared to be developing among the Committee’s various objectives and constraints. The following current economic policy directive was issued to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York: The information reviewed at this meeting suggests that real output of goods and services expanded much more rapidly in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter, and the unemployment rate de­ clined. Wage rates have increased more rapidly in recent months than earlier in the year. Consumer prices rose considerably again in November. Wholesale prices of farm and food products advanced sharply in December but those of industrial commodities increased little. On January 11 the President announced Phase III of the economic stabilization program, which has among its major objec­ tives a further reduction in the rate of inflation. The over-all deficit in the U.S. balance of payments has remained substantial in recent months, and U.S. merchandise imports rose more than exports in November. Growth in the narrowly and broadly defined money stock was exceptionally rapid in December, after having been moderate on average during the preceding 4 months. In recent weeks interest rates on both short- and long-term securities have risen moderately. Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

292 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN □ APRIL 1973 Effective January 15, Federal Reserve discount rates were raised one-half of a percentage point to 5 per cent. In light of the foregoing developments, it is the policy of the Federal Open Market Committee to foster financial conditions con­ sonant with the aims of the economic stabilization program, includ­ ing further abatement of inflationary pressures, sustainable growth in real output and employment, and progress toward equilibrium in the country’s balance of payments. To implement this policy, while taking account of the forthcoming Treasury financing and possible credit market developments, the Committee seeks to achieve bank reserve and money market condi­ tions that will support slower growth in monetary aggregates over the months ahead than occurred in the second half of last year. Votes for this action: Messrs. Burns, Brimmer, Bucher, Coldwell, Daane, Eastburn, MacLaury, Mitchell, Robertson, Sheehan, Winn, and Treiber. Votes against this action: None.
