This study is based on data obtained from the new standardised reporting format introduced by International Monetary Fund. The empirical estimation of relationship between money supply and inflation leads to development of a model, which can be used by policy makers while formulating monetary policy. This model is based on new standardised reporting format, which has a broader approach in terms of capturing monetary aggregates in a country. Thus, as opposed to findings of many earlier studies, which used non-standardised data, this paper shows that an increase in money supply leads to an increase in consumer price index.
The paper presents a model for looking into the nature of change in foreign reserve from movements in domestic credit. This model is relevant to foreign reserve targeting, small and open economies. The model denotes that measures undertaken by central banks to constraint domestic credit growth with the view of controlling capital outflows will also be detrimental to foreign reserves level. The empirical studies with application of Fourier Transformation technique have been used to build a model, which shows that growth in domestic credit is more biased towards positive swings in foreign reserves, rather than being unfavorable. The small and open economies, particularly, the Pacific Island nations, have the right set up for application of this model to safeguard foreign reserves level.
