    1.1 Background Of The Study

    One important factor affecting the level of economic activities in any economy is change in supply. These changed affects directly the rate of spending by the citizen of the country. It is therefore, because of the economic importance of monetary that the monetary authorities has devoted time and resources towards money management with a view of reaping the benefits inherent therein.

This is why the government divided the economy into major sectors, the preferred or high priority sector and the less preferred or high priority sector and the less preferred or “others” sector.

    The preferred sector comprises of agricultural industrial or manufacturing enterprises residential building construction, exports and essentials services sub-sectors.

    The government has since the introduction of the credit guidelines in 1964, being urging banks to grant more credit facilities to this sector or order to boost the rate of economic development in the country. The less preferred sector of the economy also comprises of general commerce, government and “others”.
