1.1 Background Of The Study

Mortuary policy is policy which deals with the discretionary control of money supply by the monetary authorities in order to achieve stated or desired economic goal (S.B falegan 1978). the monetarist believe that study and slow growth in the money supply is the best policy to follow. They argue that increase in the money supply that is about an increase in the purchasing power of the people and the result is inflation in the federal government, though the ministry of finance and the carnal bank of Nigeria are responsible for these policies. The central bank of Nigerian issues a monetary policy circular at the beginning of every fiscal year containing details of the government new monetary polices.

The Keynesian view is that monetary policy should be directed at interest rates rather than money supply and that monetary policy should at all times be subsidiary to fiscal policy. In general monetary policy refers to the combination of measure designed to regulate the value supply and cost of money in an ecology in consonance with the expected level of economic activity hence. It is signed to influence the behavior of the monetary variable aggregate policy conduct is at the instance of the monetary authorities to stabilize the economy.

This is in line with the views of monetarist who emphasis the role of money in explaining short term changes in natural income. Mill on freeman for example proved that coinages in money supply cause changes in natural income. And to stabilize the monetary sector therefore, the discretion any measure are applied desires portfolio to asset also considered. Consequently, the monetary authorities must attempt keep the money supply growing at an appropriate state to sure sustainable economic growth and maintain internal and external stability. This discretionary stability thus, involves the expansion of prevailing economic condition and thrust of policy.

Two type of monetary policy are:

• Expansion on a monetary ease policy

Thus having it possible for money lenders to be acquitted with the variable what monetary policy and inflation is all about the exhaustive nature of the literature review is made possible by the made range of books consulting prior to its complication.

Chapter three introduces the research design and methodology used is the research work, it explains the method of data collection, population and sample method of data analysis and tools used analyzing complied data.

Chapter four introduces the presentation, analysis and inter presentation of data

Chapter five summarize research project, conduction and recommendation of the research project.
