Q1: WHAT IS BARTER SYSTEM. DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS OF BARTER ECONOMY. ALSO POINT OUT HOW INTRODUCTION OF MONEY REMOVES THESE DEFECTS
OR BARTER SYSTEM DOES NOT FULFILL TODAYS REQUIREMENT DISCUSS? (1999, 2000, 2003)

ANSWER: BARTER SYSTEM:


At an early stage of mans economic life, the wants were very limited in number. Man can easily satisfy all his wants, which he produced himself. But as time passed, his needs began to increase. He lost his self sufficiency. He began to produce some goods in greater quantity than he could consume himself. The purpose was to exchange some of his products which he had in excess with those who had surplus products with themselves.

DEFINITION:
ACCORDING TO R.H. PARKER:
Barter is the direct exchange of goods and services with out the use of money as either a means of payment or a unit of account.

ACCORDING TO SLOAN:
Direct exchange of commodity or services for another with out the use of money.

ACCORDING TO G. THOMAS:
Barter is a form of trading in which goods are exchange directly for other goods with out the use of money as an intermediary. Barter, however, is possible only under extremely simple condition of exchange. A pure barter do not exist today:

INCONVENIENCES OF BARTER
1. LACK OF DOUBLE COINCIDENCE OF WANTS:
The basic problem of barter economy was the double coincidence of wants. It means there must be double satisfaction of bother parties in bargain. For Example: In this situation, the exchange can be effective only if a person in able to spare what the other person wants and at the same time needs what the other can spare. Suppose a person needs cloth and has the surplus of wheat, he will have to find a person who needs wheat and want to sell the cloth. Person (A) surplus of wheat (wants cloth) Person (B) surplus of cloth (Wants wheat)

2. LACK OF COMMON MEASURE:


In barter economy, there is a Lack of common measure. For example a man has a horse and other man has a cow. The first man assigns the value of horse equal to two cow and other assigns the value as one cow one horse. In absence of common measures it is very difficult to exchange. The proportion of exchange is difficult to be settled.

3. INDIVISIBILITY OF GOODS (SUB DIVISION):


Another problem of barter economy is the Lack of subdivision. As there are some commodities which can not be subdivided. For example a person has a cow with him and wants to get 40kg of wheat. So what part of cow should be given in exchange for 40kg of wheat?

4. LACK OF STORE OF VALUE:


Lack of store of value is another main inconvenience in barter. Some goods cannot be stored for a long period of time. Because during intervening period the stored commodity may become obsolete or deteriorate in value. It is very expensive to store and prevent their loss over a long period of time.

5. LACK OF SPECIALIZATION:
ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

Specialization is essential for gaining competitive advantage over others. Under barter system each person is jack of all trades, so a high degree of specialization is difficult to achieve. Specialization and inter. Dependence in production is possible in an expanded market system based on market economy. 6. DIFFICULTY IN FUTURE PAYMENT) deferred: In barter economy it is difficult to make payments in future. Because there was no mechanism to state debt and repayment in future with reasonable certainty and security. It is very difficult to land goods to other people as the value of commodities will fall with the passage of time. 7. DIFFICULTIES IN TAX COLLECTION:
Under this system, Tax collected by revenue department in the form of commodities. The goods collected form Tax payer will not be stored for a longer period. They will lose their value with the passage of time.

8. DIFFICULTIES OF TRANSFER OF WEALTH:


There is great difficulty in transferring wealth from one place to another under barter. More ever immovable property cannot be transferred. For example if a person has to take one hundred heads of cattle from Faisalabad to Karachi, how much difficulty would he feel.

9. NO CAPITAL FORMATION:
The creation of capital goods is necessary for further production of goods and services. The basis of Barter is formation is saving. In the absence of capital formation the economic progress become zero.

10. COMPARISON OF LIVING STANDARD:


As under barter, wealth cannot be stated in common units, so it was impossible to compare living standard of the people or different classes of society.

11. ECONOMIC MEASUREMENT:


Under barter it was impossible to measure any economic variable both micro and macro. There was no system to measure personal income on micro level and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) on macro level.

12. NO BUDGETING:
Under barter, it was not possible to budget expenses and incomes. People were unable to for-caste the worth of their mechanism and merchandise. They, there fore cannot make any estimate of their future incomes and revenues.

13. EXIT AT SMALL SCALE:


Barter may only exist at small scale of trade. But if some one wants to expand the scale of trade how he can do so.

14. NO INVESTMENT, NO SAVING:


Under barter, there is no concept of investment and saving. Because we can not express our income in any monetary unit.

ELIMINATION (Removal) OF INCONVENIENCES OF BARTER:


The introduction of money removed the above mentioned problems in the following ways:

1. MONEY AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE:


The goods and services are now purchased and sold with the help of money. The difficulty double coincidence of want has been removed.

2. MONEY AS A COMMON MEASURE OF VALUE:


ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

5 Money is used as a common measure of value by which was can measure and compare the values of different goods and services.

3. MONEY AS A STANDARD OF FUTURE PAYMENT:


In modern economy, goods and services are sold and bought on the promise to pay in future. So it acts as the standard of future payment.

4. MONEY AS A STORE OF VALUE:


Under barter system goods, animals and commodities cannot be stored for a longer period. Now a days wealth is stored in the form of money.

5. MONEY IS AN INSTRUMENT OF MAKING LOANS:


People save money and deposit in the bank. The bank advances these saving to businessmen and industrialists so savings are transferred to investment.

6. LIQUIDITY TO WEALTH:
Money imparts liquidity to various forms of wealth such as land, machinery, stocks and stores etc. These forms of wealth can easily be converted into money.

7. ESTABLISHMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.


The introduction o0f money has made it possible to establish financial institutions like the central bank, commercial bank etc which deal in currency, and near money assets such as bill of exchange, bonds, shares etc.

8. INFLUENCE OF INCOME AND CONSUMPTION.


The use of money has helped in removing difficulties of barter system. The higher the income, the higher will be production and consumption.

9. INSTRUMENT OF ECONOMIC POLICY:


In order to achieve growth, reduce unemployment, and maintain regular expansion of economic activity, money is the most powerful factor.

10. AIDS TO SPECIALIZATION, PRODUCTION, AND TRADE:


The market mechanism, production of goods, specialization, and expansion of trade is possible by use of money.

11. CIRCULAR FLOW OF MONEY.


In a monetary economy, there is circular flow money. Money flows from firms to the households. It flows again from household to the firms as the prices of goods and services.

12. MONEY AND PROBLEM OF SUBDIVISION:


The problem of subdivision was also solved by the use of money. Now with the help of money we can purchase each and every kind of goods.

13. MONEY AS A TOOL OF MONETARY MANAGEMENT:


Money is an instrument of monetary management if it is effectively used; it helps in increasing, output, and employment,

14. EXIST AT LARGE SCALE:


If some one wants to expand the scale of trade. The money removes this defect easily.

It is believed that different attempts are made to introduce paper money i.e. in china during 9th century, Iran 13th century and finally paper money was originated by gold smith of England in early 17th century. Now in all developed and underdeveloped countries of world, inconvertible paper money is used as medium of exchange and standard of value.

DEFINITION:
PROF. HANSON: Paper money means the paper instrument such as bank notes, cheque bills and other forms which act as a currency.

According to F ,Perry:
Paper money is documents representing money such as bank notes, promissory notes, bills of exchange etc.

According to Prof. Greener:


Paper money means documents with a value stated on them but having no value in themselves.

KINDS OF PAPER MONEY


Paper money is classified into following kinds: I. Representative paper money II. Convertible paper money. III. Inconvertible paper money IV. Fiat paper money.

(I). REPRESENTATIVE PAPER MONEY:


Representative paper money is one which is fully backed by gold or metallic reserve. This means that state is in a position to convert all the notes into gold, if they are presented for conversion at the same time. The govt. keeps these reserves for the confidence of people. In USA before 1934 the notes were issued on this principle. The example of this is American gold and silver certificates.

(II) CONVERTIBLE PAPER MONEY:


It is such a form of money which can be converted in to gold and metallic reserves, but not all the notes issued by the state are fully backed by govt. no need to keep 100% gold reserves as compare to representative paper money.

(III) INCONVERTIBLE PAPER MONEY:


Inconvertible paper money cannot be exchanged or converted into gold. The gold or silver reserves are not kept by the monitory authority. The money is issued on the written promise of the government. This paper money can cause over issue of notes.

(IV). FIAT PAPER MONEY:


Fiat money is the form of inconvertible money having little or no value in it. Fiat means the order of government. Fiat money is accepted by the people for purchase or exchange of goods, due to government order. Paper money is fiat money. Whenever government cancels any notes, the holder will lose the whole value. ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

Q6: DESCRIBE THE PRINCIPLES OF NOTE-ISSUE? ALSO EXPLAIN THE METHOD OF NOTE ISSUE WITH THEIR ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: Answer: 2001, 2005 ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

19 INTRODUCTION In all over the world, all most all the countries have fiat standard and fiat paper money. The management regulations and control of paper money is normally assigned to central bank of the country. The main advantage of this single authority control and management is that is that there is uniformity in quality, size and design of all paper currency notes.

PRINCIPLES OF NOTES ISSUE:


There are basically two principles of notes issue which are discussed in detail: 1: CURRENCY PRINCIPLE 2: BANKING PRINCIPLE 1. CURRENCY PRINCIPLE: Mr. Over stone was a member of the parliament of England. He presented the idea of currency principle. According to him notes are better than metallic money. The central bank keeps gold for full value of notes issued. It means every note issued is fully backed (100%) by gold reserves. The notes are convertible into gold on demand. In this principle there is no danger of over issue. This principle provides safety to the notes issued. But it is inelastic and unresponsive to meet the needs of trade and industry.

MERITS:
I. STABLE VALUE:
The value of money will be kept stable because over issue is not possible due to security of gold. Because value of gold is almost stable, so the value of paper money issued against gold also stable.

II. PUBLIC CONFIDENCE:


The currency principle provides greater confidence to the public. The notes issued are convertible into gold on demand.

III. CONTROL OF MONEY:


The currency principle is automatic the problem of control of money does not arise.

IV. FULL SAFETY:


This principle is 100% safe as there is 100% backing. So central bank is able to convert any number of notes.

DEMERITS:
I. INELASTIC: The currency principle is inelastic. The expansion and contraction of note issue is based upon the inflow and outflow of gold. Not fit for business need. II. EXPENSIVE: The currency principle demands that every note issued must be covered by value of gold. It is the game of richer countries and not for poor countries. III. IDLE GOLD RESERVES: The gold kept by the note issuing authority remains useless. The principle is not acceptable in real world.

2. BANKING PRINCIPLE
J.W. Gilbert was a leading banker in England. He says that only a percentage of notes in circulation should be covered by gold. It means there is no need to keep 100% gold or silver against note issued. The total money supply can expand or contract according to the needs of trade and industry. The notes over the needs will be returned to bank for encashment.

20

I. Elastic supply:
The principle gives an elastic supply of currency. As there is no restriction of 100% backing of gold so central bunk can issue currency in response to changes in economic and monetary situation.

II. ECONOMICAL SYSTEM:


It is economical as compared to currency principle because it needs less gold reserve for the issue of notes.

III. USAGE OF GOLD RESERVES:


This system allows the govt. or issuing authority to make effective and efficient usage of gold and metallic reserves, in other economic requirements.

IV. SUITABLE FOR MODERN ECONOMY:


The system is suitable for modern economy.

V. HELPFUL IN EMERGENCY:
The principle is helpful in emergency. It means in time of need such as war, flood, famine, govt. can print notes with out keeping 100% reserves.

DISADVANTAGES:
I. DANGER OF OVER ISSUE:
This system is unsafe because there is always a danger of over issue of currency notes.

II. ECONOMIC CRISIS:


This system doe not keep cent percent gold reserve. During economic crisis the convertibility of notes may be refused. But in normal circumstances people do not need demand convertibility of currency.

METHOD OF NOTE ISSUE:


There are three method of note issue.

1. FIXED FIDUCIARY SYSTEM. 2. PROPORTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM. 3. MINIMUM RESERVE SYSTEM.

1. FIXED FIDUCIARY SYSTEM.


Under this method of note issue an upper limit of total quantity of note issue by central bank is fixed. The upper limit is called Fiduciary Limit. So central bank issues currency notes up to this limit with out keeping any gold reserves. Beyond this limit central bank has to keep hundred percent (100%) gold reserves against every note issue. England adopted this method in 1844. Infect, till the WWI (World war First) most countries were on this system.

ADVANTAGES:
(I) SAFETY:
This method ensures the safety of note issued. It acts as brake on the undue expansion of money supply.

(II) STABILITY OF VALUE:


This method helps maintaining monetary stability.

DISADVANTAGES:
(I) INELASTIC:
This system is relatively inelastic. As when there is need of more notes beyond the fiduciary limit every note should be fully backed by gold reserves.

(II) NOT SUITABLE FOR MODERN ECONOMY:


ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

21 This system is suitable to those economies where money needs do not change very much and frequently as was the case before world war I.

(III). METAL DRAIN:


In this system an internal and external drain of gold will cause a decrease in money supply.

2. PROPORTIONAL RESERVE SYSTEM:


Under this method the central bank keeps a percentage in gold against the note issued. Generally 25-40% is kept in gold or silver before issue of notes. This method was first introduced in Germany in 1875 in USA it was adopted in 1914. This method was followed by the state bank of Pakistan till 1965.

ADVANTAGES:
(I) ELASTIC:
This system is more elastic than fixed fiduciary system because under it the central bank can issue a larger amount of notes.

(II) SAFE GUARD:


The reserve requirement in this method serve as a safe guard against excessive note issue.

DISADVANTAGES:
(I) UNABLE TO CONTROL PRICE:
This system does not help in controlling sharp fluctuations in prices which brings inflation in the economy.

(II) UN-ECONOMIC USE:


It is also criticized that a large amount of gold, silver and foreign exchange is locked up as a cover for note issue instead of being used for productive purposes.

(3) MINIMUM RESERVE SYSTEM:


According to this system the central bank is required to keep only a minimum amount of reserve in the from of gold and foreign exchange securities. The central bank can expand note issue in accordance with the volume of business activities with out backing of gold. This method is suitable for poor and developing countries. In Pakistan the level of currency backing by gold is fixed at Rs. 1200 million (1.2 billion rupees). Pakistan adopted this method in 1955. south Africa in 1930. > A sound systems of notes issue must have elasticity, economy, stability, simplicity and convertibility.

ADVANTAGES:
(I) ELASTIC:
The money supply in this system is very elastic.

(II) ECONOMICAL:
It is very economical because only a fixed amount of gold, silver, and foreign exchange has to be kept under this system.

DISADVANTAGE:
(I) DISADVANTAGE ISSUE OF CURRENCY:
There is always a danger of over issue of currency in this system.

ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

22

METHOD IN PAKISTAN:
Till 1965, the note issue in Pakistan was base on proportional reserve system. In 1965, the SBP (Stat bank of Pakistan) adopted fixed minimum reserve system. The amount was fixed out 1.2 billion rupees. It can be changed by the government in consultation with the state bank. This method was the safety as well as the elasticity.

Q 8: WHAT IS DEFLATION? WHAT ARE ITS CAUSES AND REMEDIES? 2005-2006 ANSWER:
DEFINITIONS: ACCORDING TO G. THOMAS:
Deflation is a reduction in the general price level due to a decrease in the economic activity of a nation.

ACCORDING TO JAMES PHILLIPS:


Deflation is a period during which level of prices declines and the value of money rises.

Q10: CRITICALLY EXPLAIN QUANTITY THEORY OF MONEY? OR Q: HOW TO VALUE OF MONEY IS DETERMINED?
ANSWER: CLASSICAL, APPROACH. INTRODUCTION:
The quantity theory of money was presented by jean Bodin in 1568 for the first time. Afterward John Law, David Hume and J.S. Mill have also worked on this theory. But it was popularized by professor irving fisher with the help of an equation in his book purchasing power of money in 1911. By value of money is meant the purchasing power of money over goods and services with in a country. What a monetary unit (e.g. Rupee) can buy represents the value of money of the rupee. The relation between value of money and price level is an ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

FISHER,

BALANCE

32 inverse one, and relation between quantity of money and price level is direct one. When price (P) rises, the value of money decreases .and vice versa. The quantity theory of money states that the quantity of money is the main determinant of the price level or value of money.

DEFINITION:
ACCORDING TO IRVING FISHER:
Other things remaining unchanged, as the quantity of money in circulation increases, the price level also increases in direct proportion and value of money decreases and vice versa

ACCORDING TO PROF TAUSSING:


Other things remaining the same, double the quantity of money, price level will be twice high as before; and the value of money one half. Halve the quantity of money, prices will be one half of what they were before; and the value of money doubles.

ASSUMPTIONS OF THEORY:
The quantity is based on some assumptions:

(I). FULL EMPLOYMENT:


The theory is based on the assumption of full employment in the economy.

(II). PRICE LEVEL IS A PASSIVE FACTOR:


The theory assumes that price level is affected by other factors of equation.

(III). CONSTANT VELOCITY OF MONEY:


In fishers equation, the velocity of circulation of money (v) and bank money (VI) are assumed to be constant.

(VI) CONSTANT VOLUME OF TRADE (T)


The total volume of transaction remains unaffected by changes in M and M1.

(V) BARTER TRANSACTION:


The theory is applicable to well established money economy. It can not be applied to money less or barter economy.

(VI) CONSTANT RELATION BETWEEN M & M1.


In fishers equation, it is assumed a proportional relationship between currency money (M) and bank money (M1).

EQUATION OF EXCHANGE:
Prof Irving fishers expressed the relationship between the quantity of money and its value of money in the form of equation. PT= MV+M1V 1 PT= total demand for money. From the equation: P= General price level. M= Quantity of legal tender money. M1= quantity of bank/ credit money. V= velocity of circulation of legal tender money. V1= velocity of circulation of bank money. T= total transaction. The above equation shows that a proportional change in quantity of money brings of money brings proportional change in prices.

NUMERICAL EXAMPLE:
Let M=100, M1=200, V=3, V1=3 T=90. Putting the values in the equation of exchange. ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

33 P= (100x3) + (200x3) P = 300+600 =10 In order to prove that variation in money supply produces proportional change in price, we now double the supply of money by keeping other variables Constant: P= (200x3) + (400x3) = 600+1200 = 1800 =20 90 90 90 The general price level has doubled by doubling the supply of money. Now we half the supply of money and keeping V, V1 and T constant. P2= (50x3) + (100x3) = 150+300 = 450 =5 90 90 90 The price is now one half what it was before and value of money is double now.

Fig (a) shows, the direct relationship between the supply of money and general price level. When total money supply MSo and price is Po. When we increase the supply of money from Mco to MS1 price also increases from Po to P1 and in the same way when we decrease the supply of money from MSo to MS2, the price also comes down from Po to P2. Fig (b) shows the inverse relationship between the supply of money and price level. As the supply of money is MSo the value of money is VMo. By increasing the supply of money Ms. From MSo to MS1, value of money decrease from VMo to VMI and vice versa.

Quantity of Money Fig (A)

Quantity of money.

CRITICISM:
Quantity theory has been criticized on the following grounds:

(I) CIRCULATION OF MONEY:


It is very difficult to measure the circulation of the legal money and credit money, therefore, velocity of money cannot be measured in a country.

(II). DYNAMIC TREATMENT:


Another objection is that this theory does not treat the problem dynamically. It has failed to explain the process through which the change in Qty of money affects price level.

(III) FULL EMPLOYMENT:


The theory assumes that there is full employment in the economy, but it is not so in real life.

(IV) PROPORTIONAL CHANGE:


The change in price level may not be proportional to the change in the quantity of money. If there is increase in the quantity of money by 20% then there will be increase in price level of a country more or less than 20% so the proportional change may not be possible.

(V) TRADE CYCLE:


During great depression of 1930, many countries tried to rise general price level by increasing the supply of money. But it was not worth. So it is proved this theory does not take into account the phases of trade cycle.

(VI) STATIC THEORY:


It is a static theory. The changing world and ups and downs in the economy cannot be explained under it.

(VII) USELESS ASSUMPTIONS:


This theory is criticized because mathematical equation is based on useless assumptions.

(VIII) IGNORES THE RATE OF INTEREST:


Another serious defect in that, this theory does not take into consideration the influence the rate of interest of cash balance.

(IX) MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE:


This theory considers only the medium of exchange function where as store of value function is ignored.

(X) IGNORING THE REAL FACTORS:


This theory states that price level is the function of money supply alone. The price level is influenced by many other factors as well, like saving, income and expenditure and investments all are ignored.

CONCLUSION:
Although the quantity theory in its original and crude form has been rejected. Yet all modern theories accept that change in the quantity of money is one of the factors affecting price level. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Come forward as servants of ISLAM, organize the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.

Q11: DEFINE THE TERM TRADE CYCLE. EXPLAIN ITS CHARACTERISTICS DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE TRADE CYCLE: (2002), 2003(S).
ANSWER:
MEANING:
The fluctuations (ups & down) in business activities which originates different phases of trade (business) cycle. So the periodic fluctuations in economic activities of a country is called trade cycle.

DEFINITION:
According to Hanson, business cycle is the fluctuations in the following variables: (1) Employment (2) Output (3) Prices.

IN THE WORDS OF KEYNES.


A trade cycle is composed of period of good trade characterised by rising prices and low level of unemployment of the other hand a period of bad trade characterised by falling prices and high rate of unemployment.

ACCORDING TO J.H. ESTAY:


There are four distinct phases of business cycle namely contraction, revival, expansion and recession. Some economist call them depression, recovery, boom and recession.

EXPLANATION:
The fluctuations in the economy may be positive or negative. If the change in fluctuations is called period of Good Trade of BOOM. On the other hand if the changes in characterized by low price and high unemployment is called period of bad trade or depression. If we see the history of the world, we see that sometimes there is a period of goods trade and some times a period of bad trade.

CHARACTERISTICS/ FEATURE OF TRADE CYCLE:


1. FOUR PHASES:
A trade cycle may have four phases i.e. boom, recession, depression and recovery.

2. RECURRING CHANGE:
There is a recurring change in the phases.

3. RHYTHMIC CHANGE:
The business activities are rhythmic and balanced.

4. SHOW RECOVERY:
The movement of business activity is slow from depression to boom.

5. RAPID DECLINE:
There is rapid decline of business activity from boom to depression.

6. EMPLOYMENT LEVEL:
The employment level falls with the contraction of business activity and rises with its expansion.

7. TIME PERIOD:
The time period between the two successive booms is one to two years but it may increase from 8-10 years or even up to 50 years.

8. WORLD WIDE:
ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

36 A trade cycle is not the problem of one country. It is world wide in nature.

9. PRICE MOVEMENT:
The prices move downward with the reduction of activity and upward with the expansion of activity.

10. CAPITAL GOODS:


The capital goods industries are the first to be depressed and first to recover.

IMPORTANT:
According to Hanson, trade cycle may be a period of over 80 years. Trade cycle thus in short run fluctuation in economic activity. PHASES OF TRADE (BUSINESS) CYCLE: There are four phases of trade cycle written below:
TRADE CYCLE

Depression

Recovery

Boom

Recession

Now we discuss it in detail: Figure:

PERIOD DEPRESSION: /SLUMP/CONTRACTION:


Depression means a period of bad trade: This stage (phase) is characterized by: 1. Low productivity: 2. Low national income. 3. Low per capita income. 4. Fall in aggregate demand. 5. Low prices. 6. High purchasing power of money. 7. Low rate of investment. 8. Contraction in bank credit. 9. Low rate of interest. 10. High rate of unemployment. Symbolically we can write: y, , P D (PCI) EMPL

ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

37 After the depression has lasted for some time a ray of hoe appears in the business horizon. Businessmen start thinking about their businesses. They decide to repair their industrial units. And alert the factors of production. This phase is characterized by: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Optimistic approach of businessmen. Investment in consumer and produce goods starts. Profit margin increases. Per capital income is increasing. An upward trend in national income. Prices show upward trend. Bank starts advancing loans. Employment rate is increasing. Propensity to consume is increasing.

BOOM (PEAK, EXPANSION)


A period of good trade is called boom this is the end of recovery period. Here economic activities reach up at the maximum possible level and optimism spreads every where in the economy. This phase is characterized by: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. New investment in sectors of economy. Revival in all industries. Highest most per capital income. Very high level of propensity to consume. High level of national income. High prices. Low purchasing power of money. High profit margin. High rate of employment. Prosperity prevails very where. Credit expansion by bank increase. Aggregate demand increases.

RECESSION:
In this period economy moves from boom to depression. The periods of boom does not last forever. In order to increase production in boom, less efficient factors of production are employed at high cost. Due to increased demand, the production falls short which result in increase in prices. The main characteristics of recession are as under: 1. Pessimistic approach of businessmen. 2. Aggregate demand starts decreasing. 3. Per capital income is falling. 4. National income also starts falling. 5. Over-production tasks place. 6. Investment starts decreasing. 7. Prices also come down. 8. The profit margin decreases. 9. Unemployment creates in the economy. 10. Banks feels hesitation in advancing loans.

CONCLUSION:
In a nutshell, trade cycle means the whole course of business activities which passes through all phases of prosperity and adversity. Business cycle generally refers to those fluctuations which take place in the business enterprise and occurs with a fair degree of regularity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q12: WHAT ARE CAUSES AND REMEDIES OF TRADE CYCLE?


ANSWER: DEFINITION: ACCORDING TO A.H. HANSEN:
the business cycle is a fluctuation in employment, output and prices.

CAUSES OF IRADE CYCLE:


A: EXTERNAL CAUSES:
The external causes are those which find the root of the expansion and contraction in economic activity outside the economic system are as under:

1. WARS:
During war, the resources are used for the production of armaments. As such the output of capital and consumer goods greatly falls. The fall in output, income, profit etc, causes contraction in economic activity.

2. POST WAR PERIOD:


In the post war era, the levels of consumption, spending and investment begin to increase. The construction of ware houses, bidges, roads is also started by the govt. as well as the households. The level of effective demand increases pushing up the economic variables, output income and employment.

3. REVOLUTIONS:
The revolutions disturb the economic development. The economy leads towards depression any disturbance slows down the rate of new investment. The foreign investors hesitate to bring their capital into the country. If there is boom it works for depression.

4. POPULATION:
The population increases aggregate demand. The investment, employment and income go up. There is tendency towards boom. High rate of inflation will make the bankers nervous. They will take back loan due to which investment level will shrink.

5. SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH:
The discovery of new material, machines, and methods helps to produce more at low cost. The invention leads to high level of competition in the economy. There is big investment in the economy. There is tendency towards boom.

6. INNOVATIONS:
Innovation includes improvement in existing ideas and process. Many new business houses are established and boom takes place. When the products of the innovation reach the market the old products lose the market.

7. GOVERNMENT POLICES:
Govt. policies at home and abroad bring changes in total spending and hence in the level of economic activity.

8. SURPLUS EXPORTS AND FOREIGN AID:


Surplus exports and foreign aid raise the level of consumption and investment spending. The output, income, and employment are boosted.

9. WEATHER:
The good and bad weather affect the production in agriculture sector. When weather conditions are bad there is low production in agriculture. The result is that there is low production in industrial sector. The demand Is the same but output is low so price level goes up.

ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

39

B. INTERNAL FACTORS:
1. UNDER CONSUMPTION:
There is too much saving during boom which reduces the level of consumption. The prices goes on increasing but wages lag behind. The profit of rich increase at higher rates but income of the poor does not increase as compared to price level. The result is that demand for consumption goods decrease.

2. INVENTORIES:
Trade cycle occurs due to unsold stock. There is excess supply of goods and services but people are unable to buy goods of their own choice. The unsold stock results in depression.

3. IMPORTS:
The imports increases the supply of goods in the economy. If the total stock of goods in more than its demand there is depression.

4. MONEY SUPPLY:
The changes in money and credit supply have a major effect upon the level of economic activity . an expansion in money and credit supply stimulates economy activity and its contraction brings down economic variables over period of time.

5. OVER INVESTMENT:
Excessive investment in capital goods industries brings upswing and a fall in investment brings downswing in economic activity.

6. MARGINAL EFFICIENCY OF CAPITAL:


Keynes claims that fluctuations in marginal efficiency of capital is the main cause of trade cycles. The expansionary phase of the trade cycle commence when the marginal efficiency of capital is higher than the rate of interest and vice versa (contraction phase).

7. AGGREGATE MARKET::
The business cycle can also be caused by changes in aggregate demand and change in aggregate supply. The contraction phase of the business cycle is caused by decline in aggregate demand and expansion phase by increase in aggregate demand.

REMEDIES TO CONTROL CYCLE:


A: MONETARY POLICY:
1. BANK RATE:
The central bank can increase bank rate when there is prosperity. The bank rate can be reduced in case of depression. The borrowing and lending is made according to bank rate. The commercial banks help the central bank to control trade cycle.

2. MARKET OPERATION:
The central bank can buy and sell bills and government securities. When money supply is less as compared to its demand the central bank buy the securities and vice versa. The purpose is the regulate supply.

3. RESERVE RATIO:
The central bank can increase or decrease the reserve ratio. The rate of reserve is decreased during depression, and increase in expansion.

4. SELECTIVE CONTROL:
The central bank can provide credit to one sector at low rates and at high rate for another sector. The central bank can check the loans granted by commercial banks, to control trade cycle.

B. FISCAL POLICY:
ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

40

(1) PUBLIC WORK:


The government can start public works programs during depression and stop construction of various project during good trade period. Public works programs help to control trade cycle.

(2) TAXES:
The state can increase or decrease rates of taxes. The government can raise more taxes for contraction of money supply. The tax rates may be lowered to provide excess money supply.

(3) BUDGET:
The government can prepare surplus budget during boom period. There is need of deficit budget during deflation. The government can use budge teary measure alone with other methods to control trade cycle.

4. PUBLIC DEBT:
The government must take loans during depression to meet various needs. In case of boom the debt should be repaid. The government can overcome the difficulties of low business activity through public debt.

5. IMPORTS:
The government can allow import of goods, which are needed by public. during depression there is no need to import the items, but when there is boom period the supply of goods can be maintained through imports.

INTERNATIONAL MEASURES:
1. PRODUCTION CONTROL:
The production control measures can be made at international level. The goods produced in excess of demand create problems. The producers can fix quota for production at world level. In this way trade cycle can be controlled.

2. BUFFER STOCK:
Buffer stock can be kept in warehouses. When production is low the suppliers can meet the demand from such stock. In case of excess production they hold surplus stock. Control over supply means control over trade cycle.

3. INVESTMENT CONTROL;
The government may allow investment in an area where there is low investment. Excess investment in any sector may lead towards depression. There is need for balanced investment in all economic sectors.

Q13: WHAT IS AN INDEX NUMBER? DISCUSS ITS CONSTRUCTION, ADVANTAGES, LIMITATION AS WELL. ALSO EXPLAIN AND CONSTRUCT THE SIMPLE INDEX NUMBER AND WEIGHTED INDEX NUMBER? 2003
ANSWER:
A large number of commodities are offered for sale in every country of the world. The prices of commodities sometimes fall or rise. So in order to find the relative changes in prices level we use index number.

DEFINITION:
D. GREENWALD: index number is a measure of relative changes occurring in a series
of values compared with base year.

ACCORDING TO A. HABER:
an index number is a ratio, usually expressed as a percentage of prices, quantities, or values that relates a given period with a comparison period

STEPS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF INDEX NUMBER:


(I) SELECTION OF BASE YEAR: (PERIOD):
One year is selected in the past as base. The index number for the base in 100. changes in prices are expressed in percentage (%) from the base year.

(II) SELECTION OF COMMODITIES:


A number of commodities are selected. The class of consumers must be decided to select the goods. The selection depends on the purpose for which the index number is prepared.

(III) PRICE QUOTATIONS:


The price quotations are obtained form selected markets only, then the price of each commodity is noted.

(IV) WEIGHTING:
Each commodity is a weight. The weight shows the impotence, people give to different commodities.

(V) PERCENTAGES CHANGES:


The percentage changes in prices are calculated.

VI. CALCULATION OF AVERAGE:


the average of individual Indices ( ) is calculated. The individual indices are added up and divided by no of weights. This average figure is called index number.

APPROPRIATE FORMULA:
CONSTRUCTION OF SIMPLE AND WEIGHTED INDEX NO:
According to simple index number all items are equally important for the people. But in practical life it is not so. The commodities should be given due importance according to their consumption.

SIMPLE INDEX NUMBER:


Commodity Price in 1990 (Po) Base 1990=100 Price in 2000 (P1) Relative (R) price

A 20/ Kg B 5/ Kg C 15 Kg D 40 Kg E 200/ Quintle N=5 Formula: R= price in current year

100 100 100 100 100 P1

Rs. 25 10 30 50 450 x 100

125 200 200 125 225 R= 875

ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

42 Price in base period x 100 or Po 1. 25 x 100= 125 20 2. 10 x 100 = 200 5 3. 30 x 100 = 200 15 4. 50 x 100 = 125 40 5. 450 x 100 = 2250 200 price index in 200 = R = 875 = 175 N 5 As the index is 175 which means that the price level rose 75% in 2000 over 1990.

WEIGHTED INDEX NUMBER:


Now we assign high weights to commodities of greater importance to consumers and lesser weights to commodities of lesser importance.
Commodity Weight (w) Prices in Base year Prices in Price 1990 (Po) 1990= 100 2000 (P1) relative (R) WxR

A B C D E

5 4 2 3 10 w=24

20 5 15 40 200

100 100 100 100 100

25 10 30 50 450

125 200 200 125 225

625 800 400 375 2250 WR=4450

The weighted index in 200 = WR = 4450 = 181.2 W 24 The weighted price index number is more accurate than the simple index number. the index 181.2 shows that there is 81.2% rise in prices in 2000 as compared to 1990.

ADVANTAGES (USES) OF INDEX NUMBER:


1. COMPARISON:
Index number is very useful for comparing the values of things over two periods.

2. FORECASTING:
Index numbers are very helpful for forecasting economic and business conditions.

3. POLICY MAKING:
Many economic policies are formulated with the help of index number.

4. PRICE INDEX NUMBER:


Index numbers are used to compare the prices of two periods. It serve as a guide for framing monetary and fiscal policy and other policies.

5. COST OF LIVING INDEX NUMBER:


It is very important in order to know the economic welfare of the people. Cost of living index numbers are very helpful in adjusting wages and in the settlement of wage disputes. It must be taken into account while revising wages & salaries.

6. PRODUCTION:
Index numbers are useful for measuring the change in production level. The goods and services produced during one year are compared with the goods and services output level. The government can decide to import or export goods for welfare of people.

7. INVESTMENT:
ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

43 Index number is helpful to note the changes in investment. The stock exchange prepares index numbers to show the investment made by people from period the period.

8. SALES:
Index of sales is prepared to find out the quantities and value of total sale between times.

9. CHANGES IN EMPLOYMENT LEVEL:


Index numbers are useful to note the changes in employment level. The state can try to increase the rate of employment, by creating new job opportunities.

10. PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS:


Index numbers are useful to measure the intelligence and performance of students. The teachers can check their efficiency through such index.

LIMITATIONS (DIFFICULTIES) OF INDEX NUMBER:


1. SELECTION OF BASE YEAR:
The base year must be accurate otherwise the results achieved will be misleading.

2. SELECTION OF COMMODITY:
The pattern of consumption of all categories of people is not the same. So selection of commodities is a difficult job.

3. PRICE QUOTATIONS:
An index number may be for wholesale or retail prices. Whole sale prices are easy to obtain, but they do not show the real cost of living.

4. WEIGHTING:
The weight (preference, importance) people give to different commodities in base year may be changed, in current period due to change in taste and income etc.

5. AVERAGE:
An index number is an average. An average can not give a complete picture of the situation.

Q 16. CRITICALLY EXPLAINS MODERN THEORY OF MONEY? (2005 (A) 2003 (A).
ANSWER: INTRODUCTION:
Milton Friedman of Chicago school developed modern quantity theory of money in 1956. According to Friedman people hold money not for specific purpose such as transaction speculative and precautionary motives. The demand for money in fact is a wealth theory of demand. In his view money is durable consumer goods. It held for the services it renders. It yields a (give) flow of services proportional to the stock. Thus the money is demanded as an asset or capital. The theory of demand for money is the theory of assets demand for money.

DETERMINANTS OF DEMAND FOR FIND OUT MONEY:


In Keynesian analysis, the demand for money is function of level of income and the rate of interest. According to Friedman, the demand for money or an asset is a function of the following factors.

1. THE RATE OF RETURN ON BONDS:


If the rate of return on bond is higher in the market, the smaller is the demand for money and vice versa. R.RD.M.

2. RATE OF RETURN ON SHARES:


Higher the rate of return of equities of shares, lower is ht demand for money and vice versa. S.R D.M

3. RATE OF CHANGE OF PRICES:


If prices are rising rapidly in a country, the smaller is demand for money. People hold smaller amount to avoid a fall in the real purchasing power of their money holdings. P V.MD.M

4. DEGREE OF RISK:
The degree of risk also affects the demand for an asset. Holding other things constant, if an asset risk raises relatively to that of an alternative asset, its quantity of demand for money will fall.

5. LIQUIDITY:
Another factor which affects the demand for an asset is how quickly it can be converted into cash with out incurring large costs. If an asset is highly liquid relatively to an alternative asset, other thing remaining unchanged, the greater will be its quantity demanded and vice versa. Liquidity D.M

STATEMENT OF THEORY:
The theory of assest demand indicates that the demand for money is a function of resources available to individuals and the expected return on other assets relative to the expected return on money. Friedman developed simplified version of the demand for money. His money demand equation is expressed as: MD=F(YP) In Friedmans view, the demand for money is a function of permanent income (YP). The permanent income is affected by the yield on securities and human and non human wealth holdings. According to Milton Friedman, demand for money is insensitive to the changes in the rate of interest.

CRITICISM OF MODERN QUANTITY THEORY


ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

53 The Milton Friedmans quantity theory of money is criticized on the following grounds:

1. INFLUENCE OF RATE OF INTEREST IGNORED:


Milton Friedman was involved too much in defining the various form of money (time deposits, demand deposit, currency in circulation) he has failed to attach importance to the powerful factor of the rate of interest which affect the demand for money.

2. RELATION BETWEEN MONEY SUPPLY AND MONEY GNP.


Friedman has observed that money supply and money GNP are positively correlated with each other. Mr. N. Kolder disagrees with his views and asserts that there is no correlation between the money supply and money GNP due to number of variables which cannot be kept under control.

3. PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIP:
Friedman tested the proposition that demand for money varies directly and proportionately to changes in the price level. The fact is it is more than proportionately changes in the level of income.

4. SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS OF WEALTH & INCOME:


Milton Friedmans function assumes the simultaneous operations of the wealth and income variables. Summing up Friedman quantity theory has given new life to the fishers quantity theory of money. It is now widely discussed, analyzed and adopted by many economists.

CONCLUSION

===============================================================

HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN


Banking in fact is primitive as human society, for ever since man came to realize the importance of money as a medium of exchange; the necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or institution was naturally felt. Perhaps it was the Babylonians who developed banking system as early as 2000 BC. IT is evident that the temples of Babylon were used as Banks because of the prevalent respect and confidence in the clergy. The partition plan was announced on June 3, 1947 and August 15, 1949 was fixed as the date on which independence was to take effect. It was decided that the Reserve bank of India should continue to function in the dominion of Pakistan until September 30, 1948 due to administrative and technical difficulties involved in immediately establishing and operating a Central Bank. At the time of partition, total number of banks in Pakistan were 38 out of these the commercial banks in Pakistan were 2, which were Habib Bank Limited and Australia Bank of India. The total deposits in Pakistani banks stood at Rs.880 million whereas the advances were Rs.198 million. The Governor General of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah issued the order for the establishment of State Bank of Pakistan on 1st of July 1948. In 1949, National Bank of Pakistan was established. It started with six offices in former East Pakistan. There were 14 Pakistani scheduled commercial banks operating in the country on December 1973, the name of these were: National Bank of Pakistan Habib Bank Limited Habib Bank (Overseas) Limited United Bank Limited Muslim Commercial Bank Limited Commerce Bank Limited Australia Bank Limited Standard Bank Limited Bank of Bahawalpur Limited Premier Bank Limited Pak Bank Limited Lahore Commercial Bank Limited Sarhad Bank Limited Punjab Provincial Co-operative Bank Limited

Q9: HOW DO THE COMMERCIAL BANK CREAT CREDIT? INDICATE THE LIMITATIONS ON THE POWER OF A BANK TO CREAT CREDIT?

OR

(1998, 1999, 2004(S))

LOANS ARE CHILDREN TO DEPOSITS AND DEPOSITS ARE CHILDREN OF LOANS EXPLAIN:

ANSWER: INTRODUCTION:
CREDIT:
The term credit is an evolution of a Latin word Credo which means I entrust and I put my faith in. the word credit has been described by Gide in the following ways. An exchange which is completed after the expiry of certain period of time after payment. In simple words credit means a loan.

CREDIT CREATION:
The creation of credit or deposits is one of the most important functions of commercial banks. Like other corporations banks aim earning profits. Credit creation is the multiple expansions of banks demand deposits. When a bank advances a loan, it does not pay the amount in cash, but it opens a current account in his name and allows him to withdraw the sum by cheque. In this way the banks create deposits or credit. It is an open secret that banks advance a major portion of their deposits to the borrowers and keep smaller part of them for payment to the customers on demand.

DEFINITION: IN SIMPLE WORD:


The tendency on the part of commercial banks to expand their demand deposits as a multiple of their excess cash reserves is known as creation of credit

ACCORDING TO PROF CROWTHER:


The important work of bank is to provide easy. Medium of exchange for this payment and receipt to people. Banks are considered as manufacturer of credit. It means they are not only the dealer of money but in actual meaning they are creator of credit. A single bank can not create credit. It is the banking system as a whole which can make loans more than their excess cash reserves.

ASSUMPTIONS OF CREDIT CREATION PROCESS:


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The process of credit creation is based on certain assumptions which are as under: There are many banks say A, B and C etc in the banking system. Each bank has to keep 20% of its deposits as required reserves. In other words 20% is the required reserve rate fixed by law. Business conditions remain normal in the country. Central bank does not adopt any credit policy. The loan amount drawn by the customer of one bank is deposited in full in the second bank, and that of the second bank into the third bank and so on. The bank creates credit in four ways. Loans. Overdraft. Discount bills of exchange. Purchase of assets.

PROCESS OF CREDIT CREATION:


i. ii. iii. iv.

By over drafting bank creates credit. Secondly, bank purchases the securities and paid them with its own cheque. The holder of theses cheque deposits them in the bank. They create deposits which is nothing other than creation of credit. It is recognized that the process of credit creation cant proceed without involvement of the whole banking system According to Samuelson. ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

82 The banking system as whole can do what each small bank can not do. It can extend its loans and investment many times. The new reserves of cash created for its even though small bank is lending out only a fraction of its deposits

EXPLANATION:
The credit creation process can be explained follow. The bank receives Rs.5000 as fresh deposits form a customer. The bank keeps some cash to honor cheque of customers. The amount so kept is known as cash reserves. Suppose cash reserve ration is 20% the bank can lend 80% of deposits to the needy people. The position of first category bank after credit creation is as follow:

BALANCE SHEET OF 1ST BANK


Liabilities Deposits Rs 5000 Assets Cash 20% Loan 80% Rs. 1000 4000 5000

5000

The loan of Rs. 4000 may be deposited by the customer with this or other bank. The receiving bank can lend 80% of it by keeping 20% as cash reserve. It can be stated in the balance sheet of second bank

BALANCE SHEET OF 2nd BANK


Liabilities Deposits Rs 4000 Assets Cash 20% Loan 80% Rs. 800 3200 4000

4000 The deposits creation position of the third bank is stated below:

BALANCE SHEET OF 3rd BANK


Liabilities Deposits Rs 3200 Assets Cash 20% Loan 80% Rs. 640 2560 3200

3200

The process is not yet complete. It will continue further. The whole process can be settled in a summary form as follows:

EXPANSION OF BANK DEPOSITS:


Bank A B C D E F G H = Deposits 5000 4000 3200 2560 2048 1638 = = 25000 Cash Reserve 1000 800 640 512 410 328 = = 5000 Loans 4000 3200 2560 2048 1638 1310 = = 20000

ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

83 The fresh deposit of Rs. 5,000 is used to create credit of Rs. 25,000. If the reserve ratio is 10% then created credit will be Rs. 50000. The amount can be calculated by following formula. Deposits x ____100______ Cash reserves% We have discussed the credit creation process through loans. Deposits can also be created by overdraft, discounting of bills & purchase of assets.

LIMITATIONS ON THE POWER OF BANK TO CREATE CREDIT:


Following are the limitations of credit creation:

1. AMOUNT OF CASH:
The credit creation power of bank depends upon the primary deposits, with the bank the larger the cash. The larger the amount of credit that can be created by bank.

2. PROPER SECURITY:
An important factor that limits the power of bank to create credit is the availability of securities because the bank advances loans to its customers on the basis of securities or a share, or a bank, or a building or some other types of assets.

3. BANKING HABITS OF THE PEOPLE:


If people have more banking habits banks will create more credit and vice versa.

4. LEGAL RESERVE RATIO:


The ability to create credit also depends upon the cash reserves ratio imposed by central bank. The higher this ratio the lower is the power to create credit.

5. SHORTAGE OF BORROWERS:
If there is shortage of borrowers due to business slump or due to any reason, the ability of banks to create credit will also be decreased.

6. CLEARANCE FACILITY:
If banks enjoy clearing house facility by the central bank then they can create more credit and vice versa.

7. BEHAVIOUR OF OTHER BANKS:


The power of credit creation is further limited by the behavior of other banks. If some of the bank do not advance loans to the extent required of the banking system, the chain of credit expansion will be broken.

8. POLICY OF THE CENTRAL BANK:


The central banks policy regarding the expansion and contraction of credit also restricts the credit creation by the commercial banks.

9. CASH IN CIRCULATIONS:
If the loan issued by the bank may not be deposited in to the bank. The cash may remain in circulation can not be used by banks for credit creation.

10. ECONOMIC CLIMATE:


Bank can not continue to create credit limitlessly. Their power to create credit depends upon the economic climate in the country.

SUMMING UP:
We can say that creation of credit is an important function of commercial banks. However the power of credit creation by the bank is not unlimited. ===============================================================

Q13: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY NATIONALIZATION? EXPLAIN THE CAUSES OF NATIONALIZATION? EXPLAIN ITS MERITS & DEMERITS? (2000, 2002)

ANSWER:
INTRODUCTION:
Nationalization means the transfer of any property or institution from private to state ownership. It refers to the process where by through legal and legislative approach, the private institutions are taken up by state or government. The government then manages and controls such institutions. A private commercial bank is opened by private persons. The ownership and control remains in their hands. But sometimes the ownership of private bank is taken over by the government. It is called nationalization of commercial banks.

DEFINITION: BY ROBERT MILLARD:


Nationalization is the act of converting a privately owned resource into one owned by central government.

BY ALAN ISAACS:
Nationalization is the process of bringing the assets of a company into the ownership of the state. Govt. of Pakistan nationalized all commercial bank on 1st January 1974. There were 23 scheduled banks in the country that time with 2942 braches. The banks which were nationalized are SBP, all commercial banks, IDBP, the government set up Pakistan banking council (PBC) to run the administration of all commercial banks.

CAUSES OF NATIONALIZATION OF BANKS:


1. CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH:
According to one estimate 200 families borrowed 75% of total loans and advances. A few people were using national saving in their interest. Many small producers and artisans were unable to get loans facility. The result was concentration of wealth in few hands.

2. USE OF LOANS:
Commercial bank used to give loans to those persons who were in a position to repay the loans and was little bothered about use of loans. So loans were used for black marketing hoarding & speculations etc.

3. UNBALANCED DISTRIBUTION OF CREDIT:


There was unbalanced distribution of credit for sectors of the economy a lot of credit was given to industrial sector and agriculture sector was ignored badly. Only 10% credit was given to agriculture.

4. PROTECTION OF BLACK MONEY:


Private Banks protected black money in their account because the govt. was not legally allowed to know the deposit figure of these banks. More over these banks. More over these people also obtained credit facilities to increase their wealth.

5. PROFIT MOTIVE:
The banks changed their priorities and preferences. In spite of aiming at the macro economic growth, development, and prosperity, they aimed to maximize profit. The saving of the people was utilized according to the personal interests and not the national interest.

6. WASTEFUL COMPETITION:
ARFAN SHAHZAD KHAN M.COM, M PHIL 0314-4467754 MUHAMMAD NADEEM RAZA MBA M.PHIL 0321-5603554

102 Banks engaged themselves in a wasteful competition race. This badly hampered the pace of economic growth. Heavy expenditures were made by all banks for wide scale advertisement and publicity.

7. NO UNIFORMITY IN SERVICE RULES:


There was no uniform and consistent pattern of services rules. The promotions and increment were given on the personal discretion of bosses or directors and there was no security of service.

8. EXPLOITATION OF BANK EMPLOYEES:


Commercial banks exploited their employees in different ways. The employment and promotion in banks was due to deposits. The hard labor, devotion was useless.

9. CREATION OF CREDIT:
Credit up to a certain limit is fruitful for the economy but in those days commercial banks were creating credit just for the sake of their profit.

10. FAVORITISM:
Bank owners used to appoint their own relatives to high portion in banks and gave them heavy salaries.

11. LOW EFFICIENCY OF BANK BRANCHES ABROAD:


A few Pakistani banks had opened their branches in foreign countries. The working efficiency of those banks was very low and most of them were running loss.

12. INEFFECTIVE MONETARY POLICY OF SBP.


Although commercial banks were working under SBP as scheduled banks, yet they did not co-operate with SBP in implementation of monetary policy.

ADVANTAGES OF NATIONALIZATION:
1. FAIR DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH:
Commercial banks give loans in accordance with the credit policy of SBP. Along with big industrialist, small businessmen can get credit facilities.

2. PROPER DISTRIBUTION OF LOANS:


There is a proper distribution of loans. And credit is given for agriculture sector, construction of houses, small business. Distribution is more balanced.

3. BETTER ADMINISTRATION OF BANKS:


Govt. has setup an executive board for each commercial bank to run the administration of banks. On top of it there is Pakistan banking council which is responsible for general supervision of these banks.

4. GROWTH OF THE LEVEL OF THE EMPLOYMENT:


After nationalization many vacancies were announced and new jobs were created by opening new branches of banks.

5. BENEFITS TO BANK EMPLOYEES.
