Mc. Graw-Hill/Irwin Money and Capital Markets, 9/e © 2006 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. , All Rights Reserved.

11 - 8 Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System • The term federal funds came about because early in the development of the market, the principal source of immediately-available money was the reserve balance that each Federal Reserve System member bank had to keep at the Federal Reserve bank in its region. • Today, the federal funds market is broader in scope – some deposits with commercial banks are also available for immediate transfer.

11 - 9 Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System • Banks and other depository institutions must hold in a special legal reserve account liquid assets equal to a fraction of the funds deposited with them by the public. • This legal reserve requirement is calculated on a daily average basis over a two-week period, known as the reserve computation period. • The federal funds market is an indispensable tool for such daily reserve management.

11 - 11 Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System • Commercial banks borrow billions of dollars each day in the federal funds market. • Most federal funds loans are either overnight transactions or continuing contracts that have no specific maturity and that can be terminated without advance notice by either party. • One-day loans carry a fixed rate of interest, but continuing contracts often do not.

11 - 13 Federal Funds Provided by the Banking System • Beginning 1989, the Federal Reserve has routinely set target levels for the federal funds rate, and raised or lowered those targets depending on whether it wishes to slow down borrowing and spending in the economy or speed them up. • Through daily open market operations (buying and selling securities), the Fed is able to push the funds rate in the desired direction.

11 - 29 Eurodollars in U. S. Domestic Bank Operations • U.

11 - 32 Recent Innovations in the Eurocurrency Markets • Beginning in the 1980 s, the Eurocurrency market witnessed rapid growth in medium-term credit arrangements between international banks and their corporate and governmental customers. • These so-called note issuance facilities (NIFs) often span five to seven years and allow the customer to borrow in his or her own name by selling short-term IOUs (typically maturing in three to six months) to investors.

11 - 35 Bankers’ Acceptances • A bankers’ acceptance is a time draft drawn on and endorsed by an importer’s bank. • Acceptances are used in international trade because most exporters are uncertain of the credit standing of their importers. • The issuing bank unconditionally guarantees to pay the face value of the acceptance when it matures, thus shielding exporters and investors in international markets from default risk.

11 - 39 The Growth and Decline of Acceptance Financing • The volume of US$ acceptances outstanding grew rapidly, from less than $400 million in 1950, to slightly more than $7 billion in 1970, and almost $80 billion in 1984. • Then the volume declined sharply to $10 billion in 2000, as several leading export nations entered a recession, as economic problems developed in Asia, and as businesses turn to other payment and financing methods. Mc. Graw-Hill/Irwin Money and Capital Markets, 9/e © 2006 The Mc. Graw-Hill Companies, Inc. , All Rights Reserved.

11 - 40 Acceptance Rates • Acceptances do not carry a fixed rate of interest, but are sold at a discount in the open market like Treasury bills. • The yield on acceptances is usually only slightly higher than the yield on Treasury bills, and close to the negotiable CD rates offered by major banks, because of the high credit quality of the banks that issue the acceptances and CDs.

11 - 45 Bank Activity in the Money Market • In the 1960 s and 1970 s, competition forced major corporations to seek out alternative investments for their short-term funds. • Bankers thus turned to the money market for additional funds – negotiable CDs appeared and the federal funds market was broadened. • Then, as policies were tightened, many bankers turned to the Eurocurrency market and RPs backed by government securities.

11 - 46 Bank Activity in the Money Market • All these clever bank maneuvers form part of a technique called liability management. • By varying the daily interest rates offered on CDs and other funds sources, bankers can gain a measure of control over their liabilities. - If a bank needs more funds on a given day, the bank can simply offer a higher yield on the particular money market instrument that it desires to use.

11 - 60 Credit Agencies in the Money Market • Certain sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, housing, small businesses, and college students, appear to have an unusually difficult time raising funds in the money and capital markets. • Beginning in 1916, the U.
