1.1 Background of the Study

Monetary policy is the term used by economists to describe ways of managing the supply
of money in an economy. It is the process by which the monetary authority of a country
controls the supply of money often targeting a rate of interest for the purpose of
promoting economic growth and stability.
Monetary policy rests on the relationship between the rates of interest in an economy, that
is, the price at which money can be borrowed, and the total supply of money
Within almost all modern nations, special institutions (such as the Federal Reserve
System in the United States, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the
People's Bank of China, and the Bank of Japan) exist which have the task of executing
the monetary policy and often independently of the executive. In general, these
institutions are called central banks and often have other responsibilities such as
supervising the smooth operation of the financial system.
With the creation of the Bank of England in 1694, which acquired the responsibility to
print notes and back them with gold, the idea of monetary policy as independent of
executive action began to be established. The goal of monetary policy was to maintain the
value of the coinage, print notes which would trade at par to specie, and prevent coins
from leaving circulation. The establishment of central banks by industrializing nations
was associated then with the desire to maintain the nation's peg to the gold standard, and
to trade in a narrow band with other gold-backed currencies. (www.bangladesh-bank.org)

2.1 Definition of Monetary Policy

Monetary policy is the term used by economists to describe ways of managing the supply
of money in an economy.
The actions of a central bank, currency board or other regulatory committee that
determine the size and rate of growth of the money supply, which in turn affects interest
rates. Monetary policy is maintained through actions such as increasing the interest rate,
or changing the amount of money banks need to keep in the vault. (By Geoffrey St.
Marie,2011)
Monetary policy includes all monetary decisions and measures irrespective of whether
their aims are monetary and non-monetary, all non-monetary decision and measures that
aim it affecting the monetary system.( Paul Einzig, 2008)
Monetary policy employing the central banks control of supply of money as an
instrument for achieving the objectives of general economic policy. (Harry G.
Johnson,2008)

2.2 Significance of Monetary Policy

The Monetary Policy has a great significance on economy. Some of there are as follows.
(www.bangladesh-bank.org)
i)To control supply of money
ii) To Setup rate of interest.
iii) To promote economic growth & stability.
iv) To stabilize price & low unemployment.
v) To control inflation & deflation.

2.3 Tools of Monetary Policy Generally Used

Monetary policy tools are as follows
a) Monetary base
Monetary policy can be implemented by changing the size of the monetary base. Central
banks use open market operations to change the monetary base. The central
bank buys or sells reserve assets (usually financial instruments such as bonds) in
exchange for money on deposit at the central bank. Those deposits are convertible
to currency.
b) Reserve requirements
The monetary authority exerts regulatory control over banks. Monetary policy can be
implemented by changing the proportion of total assets that banks must hold in
reserve with the central bank. Banks only maintain a small portion of their assets
as cash available for immediate withdrawal; the rest is invested in illiquid assets
like mortgages and loans. By changing the proportion of total assets to be held as
liquid cash, the Federal Reserve changes the availability of loan able funds. This
acts as a change in the money supply
c) Discount window lending
Discount window lending is where the commercial banks, and other depository
institutions, are able to borrow reserves from the Central Bank at a discount rate.
This rate is usually set below short term market rates (T-bills).It is of note that the
Discount Window is the only instrument which the Central Banks do not have
total control over.
d) Interest rates
The contraction of the monetary supply can be achieved indirectly by increasing the
nominal interest rates. Monetary authorities in different nations have differing levels of
control of economy-wide interest rates. . By raising the interest rate under its control, a
monetary authority can contract the money supply, because higher interest rates
encourage savings and discourage borrowing. Both of these effects reduce the size of the
money supply.
e) Currency board

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 5

Internship Report
A currency board is a monetary arrangement that pegs the monetary base of one country
to another, the anchor nation. As such, it essentially operates as a hard fixed exchange
rate, whereby local currency in circulation is backed by foreign currency from the anchor
nation at a fixed rate. Thus, to grow the local monetary base an equivalent amount of
foreign currency must be held in reserves with the currency board. This limits the
possibility for the local monetary authority to inflate or pursue other objectives.
f) Unconventional monetary policy at the zero bound
Other forms of monetary policy, particularly used when interest rates are at or near 0%
and there are concerns about deflation or deflation is occurring, are referred to as
unconventional monetary policy. These include credit easing, quantitative easing, and
signaling. (Monetary Policy". Federal Reserve Board. January 3, 2006.)

2.4 Bodies of Monetary Policy

With the recommendation of World Bank/IMF, government in 2003 provided the degree
of autonomy to the bank to carry out its responsibilities without undue interference of the
government and a new body, called co-ordination Council.
This council consists of the following governing body
Minister of Finance

Minister of Commerce

Governor of BB

2.5 Monetary Policy Decision- Making Process

The MPC sets monetary policy that is consistent with domestic economic conditions to
ensure price stability and sustainable economic growth. In addition, the MPC plays an
important role in determining guidelines for exchange rate policy that is consistent with
the monetary policy stance. Approximately every six weeks ( 8 times a year), the MPC
needs to assess the economic and financial condition as well as the risk factors that may
affect future inflation and economic growth in its consideration of monetary policy
direction. In each meeting the MPC secretariat presents the latest economic data on
financial market conditions, fiscal position, international financial environment, and
production, as well as other factors that may affect the price level, including world
commodity prices and US interest rates. The plausible trends of these variables are
widely discussed and subsequently incorporated into the inflation and GDP forecasts.
The Bangladesh Bank undertakes open market operations to ensure that the policy rate is
held- as close as possible- to the level determined by the MPC. Each quarter, the
Bangladesh Bank publishes a quarterly inflationary report to present the latest economic
and inflation forecasts to the MPC in a clear and forward looking manner, as well as
communicates to the general public views of the MPC to in reaching their various policy
decisions. (Bangladesh Economic Review 1999, Ministry of Finance, Government of
Bangladesh.)

3.1Background of monetary policy in Bangladesh

The policy adopted by the central bank for control of the supply of money as an
instrument for achieving the objectives of general economic policy. As stated in
the Bangladesh Bank order 1972, the principal objectives of the countries
monetary policy are to regulate currency and reserves. To manage the monetary
and credit system; to preserve the par value of domestic currency ; to promote
and maintain a high level of production, employment and real income ; and to
foster growth and development of the countrys productive resources in the best
national interest. Although the long term focus of monetary policy in Bangladesh
is on growth with stability, the short term objectives are determined after a careful
and realistic appraisal of the current economic situation of the country.
With the shift of the policy stance of the government in various phases, necessary
adjustments were made in the countrys monetary policy in the first year after
liberation, the primary target of monetary policy was to regulate not the quantity
of money, but the direction of the flow of money and in support of the
government financial programmed. In 1975, Bangladeh entered in to a standbyarrangement with IMF and the countrys monetary policy got a changed shape,
which fixed an explicit target to save limit of monetary expansion on annual basis,
with this change, Bangladesh Bank started setting short-term objectives of
monetary policy in close collaboration of the government and tried to achieve the
target by using the direct instrument of control. The principal target of monetary
control was broad money (M2) i.e. , the sum of the currency in circulation and the
total deposits of money in banks. The targeted growth of M2 depended on a
realistic forecast of the growth rate of real GDP, an acceptable rate of inflation
and an attainable level of international reserve.

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 10

Internship Report
Bangladesh Bank took majors to monitor credit and monetary expansion keeping in view
the price situation and international reserve position. Efforts were made to achieve
the targeted growth of domestic credit and thereby, the money supply, through
imposing ceiling on credit to the government, public and private sector. The major
policy instrument available to Bangladesh Bank and provide liberal refinance
facility at confessional rate for priority lending. According to the national
economic policy, the Banks were to provide the desired volume of credit t and
administered and low rate of interest. In that situation, Bangladesh Bank
practically did not have any effective instrument for making adjustment in the
growth of money supply or for transmitting market signals into changes in money
supply. The monetary policy therefore, could not function in true sense as a result
the banking system could not play its role as an effective financial intermediary.
(Central Banking in the New Millenium." Ahluwalia,)

3.2 Strategy of Monetary Policy in Bangladesh

The MPS (Monetary Policy Statement) starts with expression of the monetary policy
frameworks in terms of the goals, instruments, and the channels of transmi ssion.
Maintaining price stability while supporting the highest sustainable output
growth is the stated objective of monetary policies pursued by the Bangladesh Bank.
(http://www.scribd.com )

3.3 Frameworks of Bangladeshs Monetary Policy

The framework of monetary policy in Bangladesh set out below

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 11

Internship Report

a) The Policy Target

In this backdrop it is necessary that the monetary policy framework (in terms of the goals,
the instruments, and the analytic channels of transmission) be articulated for greater
clarity and transparency benefiting both the policy makers as well as the stakeholders. A
policy system, where the goals are transparent and their achievement verifiable, directly
adds to the credibility of the central bank, a major objective of this document is to define
such a framework. Most industrial economy monetary policy is run with the task of
keeping watch on both the output gap (i.e., the deviation of actual output from its longrun equilibrium level) and the inflation gap, which is similarly defined. In contrast,
however, the challenge in the developing world is how to augment the capacity output
through both productivity growths as well as via the installation of additional capacity.
Faster growth in most developing contexts is necessary to reduce (and eventually
eliminate) common poverty. Hence the appropriate monetary policy strategy in the
Bangladesh context would be to achieve the goal of price stability with the highest
sustainable output growth. Any monetary stimulus to promote growth must keep in
perspective the broader goal of macroeconomic stability, which is a prerequisite for
future growth. Price stability would also include the stability of the currency regime.

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 12

Internship Report
While fiscal policy too is relevant in addressing these goals and thus there is a need
for policy coordination, monetary policy must play its due role. While leading central
banks in the industrial world have increasingly adopted the unitary goal of fighting
inflation, interestingly directive by enumeratingi)The promotion of price stability.
ii) Ensuring full employment.
iii) Supporting global economic and financial stability (so long as the latter maybe
targeted without prejudicing the first two goals) as the chief monetary policy goals.
In broad terms therefore the latter view is consistent with the BB vision as enunciated
above, although anchored along different perspectives.

b) Inflation Target
It is the general wisdom that monetary policy tools are of immediate influence in
controlling inflation. However contemporary evidence amply illustrates that monetary
policy cannot deal well with the inflationary impact of external shocks such as the recent
international price of oil and related energy products. Many central banks as a
consequence focus on the core inflation, which is typically constructed by subtracting the
most volatile components (e.g., food and energy prices, indirect taxes etc) from the
consumer price index (CPI). The Bank of Canada argues
that it is the core concept that better predicts the underlying price stability in the
economy. Hence as a policy goal, core inflation may be a more credible target than CPI
inflation. While there is no standard measure of core inflation in the Bangladesh context
at this time, the construction methodology is made complex by two facts. First is that
food items constitute nearly 60 percent of the CPI index, and while the appropriate
commodity group weights may require a re-think, to ignore food entirely in defining the
core inflation may render the construction a bit like throwing the baby away with the bath
water. Secondly, in the Bangladesh context, the volatility of the international energy
prices appear not to filter down to the CPI since the relevant domestic prices are
www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 13

Internship Report
subsidized by the state. Periodic adjustments in administered energy prices have always
lagged the world market changes in both the time line as well as in magnitude often most
dramatically. While it may be useful to focus on the non-food component of the index
(which occupies only 41.6 percent of the full CPI) in order to gauge at the build-up of
underlying inflationary forces in the economy, it would be unwise to treat this alone as a
valid measure of core inflation.
c) Growth target
GDP growth projections of the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) in
the government's National Strategy for Accelerated Poverty Reduction (NSAPR),
modified appropriately in the light of unfolding actual developments, are used as output
growth targets for the purpose of monetary policies.
(National Policy Forum Dhaka: 20-22 August, 2009 Organized by: Centre for Policy
Dialogue, Prothom Alo, The Daily Star,)

3.4 Instruments of Monetary Policy in Bangladesh

In 1989, the government adopted a comprehensive Financial Sector Reform Programmed
(FSRP), following which the country's monetary policy assumed a new orientation
towards promotion of market economy in a competitive environment. Bangladesh Bank
started moving away from direct quantitative monetary control to indirect methods of
Monetary management since the beginning of 1990. Although, the fixation of target
continued to remain as the central piece of exercise, the way to achieve it had been
changed. Credit ceilings on individual banks and direct controls of interest rates were
withdrawn. At present, the money supply is regulated through indirect manipulation of
reserve money instead of credit ceiling. Major instruments of monetary control available
with Bangladesh Bank are the bank rate, open market operations, rediscount policy, and
statutory reserve requirement.

3.5The methods of credit Control

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 14

Internship Report
The methods of credit control can be classified as follows
3.5.1Quantitative Methods
i)Bank rate policy
ii)Open market policy
iii)Variation of reserve ratio
3.5.2Qualitative Methods
i) Rationing of credit
ii) Direct action
iii)Regulation of consumers credit
iv)Moral persuasion
v)Publicity

The methods of credit control are described below

Quantitative Methods
The methods by which Central Bank controls the total amount of credit in the
economy are termed as quantitative methods of credit control.
a) Bank rate policy
The rate which central bank lends money to the commercial banks and discounts bill of
exchange is called bank rate. If central bank increases the bank rate then the commercial
banks will increase their marker of interest rates. As a result the borrowers borrow less
form commercial banks and amount of credit reduces in the economy. In an opposite
way amount of credit will be increased in the country.
Effects
Effects on price level: If bank rate increases, cost of credit will increase and the
businessmen will reduce their borrowing s form commercial banks. This will reduce
production and increase unemployment in the economy. As a result, income and price

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 15

Internship Report
level will go down and depression in business and trade will be the outcome. If there is a
decrease in the bank rate the opposite e results of above will be experienced in the
economy.
Effects on foreign trades: An increase in bank rate wills increases other interest rates in
the country. So, investment will be profitable. It will ensure the insertion of foreign
capital into the economy and leakage of domestic capital will be stopped. Moreover,
increased bank rate will decrease the piece level because amount of credit will be reduced
into country. This decreased price level will again encourage expert and discourage
import, which will make balance of payment favorable. Opposite effects of above will be
experienced if the central bank decreases the bank rate in the economy.
Limitations of Bank rate policy
i) Bank rate policy would not be effective if there lacks strong linkage between bank rate
and market/ interest rate especially for a developing country like Bangladesh.
ii) If commercial banks have excessive money; then bank rate may not be effective
because they will lend in lower interest rates though bank rate increases.
iii) Bank may successes during the time of prosperity. Because businessmen become
highly ambitious of their profits in this situation and will borrow money though the
interest rate increases.
iv) Reduction in bank rate may not be successful to increase the amount of credit during
the time of depression. So, bank rate policy has several limitations in its
operation. After that it is the best weapon of central bank to control the amount of credit
in the economy.
b) Open market policy
The method by which the central bank controls the amount of credit by selling and
buying government credit instrument is termed as open market operation. When the
central bank intends to contract credit, it sales the credit instruments in the market. These
instruments are purchased by commercial banks and people also buy them issuing cheque

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 16

Internship Report
to the commercial banks. Thus money goes to the central bank and amount of money for
credit creation reduces which in turn contracts the amount of credit in the economy.
Limitations of open market policy
i) Selling- it reduces amount of cash of commercial banks .but if commercial banks take
loan form central bank it would not be effective to reduce credit.
ii) Buying- it increases the amount of cash in commercial banks. But it may not be able to
expand credit if commercial banks repay loan to the central bank with this increased cash.
iii) Depreciation- During depreciation credit expansion through purchasing credit
instruments is not possible. Because in this period businessmen will not want tomorrow
from commercial bank.

c)Variation of reserve ratio

Each commercial bank has to keep legally a certain portion of its total deposits as reserve
with central bank. This is called reserve ratio. If central bank increases this reserve ratio,
excess reserve in commercial banks will reduce and
thus credit creation will be contracted in the economy. In an opposite way central bank
can increase the amount of credit by decreasing the reserve ratio.
Limitations
i) Increase in reserve ration can be effective for that commercial bank having small
amount of cash. Because bank having large volume of cash will have sufficient excess
reserve to create credit though reserve ration increases. In this case it will not be
effective.
ii) Decrease in reserve ration may not be effective to expand credit during depression
businessmen are discouraged to borrow in this situation.
iii) Non-scheduled commercial banks are out of this control.
Qualitative Methods

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 17

Internship Report
The methods used to control credit in special sectors for special purposes are called
qualitative\selective methods of credit control. These methods do not deal with the
amount of credit rather change the flow or direction of credit used in different sectors of
economy.
a)Rationing of credit
Rationing of credit means fixing the amount of credit among different sectors of the
economy. By this method central bank can decrease the amount of credit in one sector
and can increase it in other sector. For example, if central bank thinks that there is
excessive investment in garments industry and jute industry suffers form required
investment, then it can order the commercial banks not to disburse credit beyond required
amount in garments industry and divert the excess amount to jute industry.
Limitations
i)Borrowers may use the credit money in other purposes.
ii) It is difficult for central bank to supervise whether the credit money is being used
purposively or not.
iii) Sometimes commercial banks think this type of work as an unwanted intervention by
central bank.

b)Direct action
If it is proved by central bank that credit creation policy of any commercial bank is not
transparent then central bank can take punitive measures against that bank and thus
affects its credit creation. These punitive measures may be of not rediscounting bills of
exchange, discounting bills of exchange at a rate higher than the prevailing rare, etc. As a
result, the commercial bank will compelled to follow sound central bank policy.
c)Regulation of consumers credit
It is a method to control credit in consumable goods, which are purchased in installment
basis. If central bank circulates to increase the amount of down payment or reduce the
number of installment then consumer credit will be contracted in the economy. In an
opposite way consumers credit can be increased. It was followed in USA during Korean
War.
www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 18

Internship Report
d)Moral persuasion
To make the banking system sound and efficient, central bank sometimes requests the
commercial banks to increase or decrease credit. As a guardians request, commercial
banks follow it and thus amount of credit is controlled in the economy.
e)Publicity
Sometimes central bank applies publicity as a weapon of credit control. Central bank
publishes weekly, fortnightly or monthly bulletins and annual reports where balance
sheets and other business and economic condition of different commercial banks are
presented well. As a result the commercial banks become more careful in the line of their
credit creation. Thus central bank applies various types of measures to control credit in
the economy. But central bank should apply different types of method simultaneously
rather to use single method to make credit control effective. ( Bangladesh Bank

Challenges, Recommendation
&Conclusion

4.1Key Challenge for Monetary Policy of Bangladesh

The challenges of monetary policy in Bangladesh are as follows
1. There Exist a Non-Monetized Sector
In Bangladesh there is a existence of non monetized economy in large extent people areas
where many of the transaction are of the barter type and not monetary type .similarly ,due
to non monetized sector the progress of commercial banks is not up to mark ,this creates
a major bottleneck in the implementation of the monetary policy in Bangladesh.
2. Excess Non Banking Financial Institutions (NBFI)
As the economy launch itself into a orbit of economic growth and development,the
financial sector comes up with great speed as a result many non banking financial
institutions (NBFI) come up ,these NBFIs also provide create in the economy ,however

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 20

Internship Report
the NBFIs is do not come under the purview of a monetary policy and thus nullify the
effect of a monetary policy.
3. Existence of Unorganized Financial Markets
The financial markets help in implementing the monetary policy ,in many developing
countries the financial markets especially the money markets are of an unorganized
nature and in backward conditions ,in many places people like money lenders ,traders
,and business actively take part in money lending ,but unfortunately they dont not under
the purview of a monetary policy and creates hurdle in the success of a monetary policy
4. Higher Liquidity Hinders Monetary Policy
In rapidly growing economy the deposit base of money commercial bank is expanded,
this creates excess liquidity in the system .under this circumstance even if the monetary
policy increase the CRR or SLR, it does not deter commercial banks from credit
creation ,so the existence of excess liquidity due to high deposit base is a hindrance in the
way of successful monetary policy.
5. Money Not Appearing In an Economy
Large percentage of money never comes in the mainstream economy, rich people,
traders ,business and other people prefer to spend rather than to deposit money in the
bank

,this shadow money is used for buying precious metals like gold silver

,ornaments ,and land and in speculation ,this type of lavish spending give rise to inflation
trend in mainstream economy and the monetary policy fails to control it.
6. Time Lag Affects Success of Monetary Policy
The success of the monetary policy depends on timely implementation of it ,however ,in
many cases unnecessary delay is found in implementation of the monetary policy ,or
many times timely directives are not issued by the central bank , then the impact of the
monetary policy is wiped out.

www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 21

Internship Report
7. Monetary and Fiscal Policy Lacks Coordination
In order to attain a maximum of the above objectives ,it is unnecessary that both the
fiscal and monetary policies should go hand ,as both these policies are prepared and
implementation by two different authorities ,there is a possibility of non coordination
between these two policies ,this can harm the interest of the overall economic policy

4.2Recommendation
i) In Bangladesh, capital markets should be expanded and organized enough to succeed
the monetary policy.
ii) The credit control mechanisms like open market operation, bank rate, etc. should be
effective.
iii) A narrow bill market should make the discount rate effective.
iv) Banking habits are also underdeveloped which hampers the effectiveness of monetary
policy seriously. So banking habits should be developed.
v) Steps should be taken to abolish the existence of liquidity trap.
vi) To run the monetary policy smoothly and effectively, it is essential to pay sufficient
attentions to increase the GDP.
.

4.3Conclusion
In view of formulating credible monetary policy to attain the achievement of economic
objective, the difficult part for the central banks is to distinguish, within ongoing inflation
evolutions, between short term volatility and the underlying pressure of inflation,. While
it has now become standard practice for most central banks around the world to monitor
www.AssignmentPoint.com

Page 22

Internship Report
core inflation, no progress has so far been made in the Bangladesh context. The paper
takes a pioneering look in measuring core inflation in Bangladesh focusing on the
popular exclusion and trimmed mean approaches. The performance criteria adopted in
this analysis so that the measure of core inflation developed in the paper has strong
money-induce characteristics and therefore, can credibly be used as a short or medium
term guide of monetary policy in Bangladesh.
