CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
One of the most important aspects of macro economics is monetary policy which is being used as a tool to determine aggregate and average figures in the economy.
This considers what determines total employment and production consumption total, investment in raising productive capacity, and how much a country imports and exports.
It also asks what causes boom and slumps in the short run, and determines the long term growth rate of the economy in the general level of prices and the rate of inflation (Nwachukwu 1998; 12) macro economy considers how these matters can and should be influenced by government through monetary and fiscal policies.
The entire behavior of the economy is studied. Beside, macro economies try to solve the problem of supply issues which result due to excess demand of product by consumers.
However, monetary policy deals directly with control of excess money supply in the economy.
Put differently, monetary policy refers to a combination of measures designed to regulate the value, supply, and cost of money in an economy, in consonance with the expected level of activity.
For most economics like Nigeria, the objectives of monetary policy include price stability, maintenance of balance of payment, equilibrium, promotion of employment and output growth and sustainable development.
These objectives are necessary for the attainment of internal and external balance and promotion of long run economic growth (Bright 2000:10).
Nnanna D.O 2001 rightly puts it that the success of monetary policy depends on the operating economic development.
