CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The money market in our economy in a very
vital sector and its position in the economy cannot be over emphasized. The
money market in Nigeria was
fashioned along with that of Britain,
established and nurtured by the CBN primarily for mobilizing domestic savings
for productive investment as well as
providing the government with funds to enable it implement its economic programme.
Money market as an intermediary for short
term financial assets that are close substitute for money consists of the CBN,
Deposit money bank, Discount house, corporate bodies, individuals, finance
companies Bureau de change as its major operators and deals on various financial
instrument such as bills, certificates, commercial papers, certificate of
deposit etc which one transferable and desirable in nature.
Notwithstanding, the recent global
economic meltdown which tends to set a disjunction between the surplus and the
deficit sectors, the surplus sector appears not
to be interested in lending to the deficit sector, this pose a serious
bottleneck to the proper functioning of the money market, thereby reducing the
level of investment in the economy. The logic question now is what would be the
lot of Nigerian economic and its inhabitants in general.
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
These are various financial markets which are institutional arrangements that facilitates the intermediation of funds in an economy. They financial market is segmented into two- of is money market, which deals in short term funds and the other capital market that is for long term dealing in funds ( Anyanwu 1996). The basis of distinction between the money markets and the capital market lies in the degree of liquidity of instruments bought and sold in each of the market which can be further sub –divided into primary and secondary markets, while primary market is concerned with the raising of new funds, the secondary market exist for the sale and purchasing of existing centuries that are already in people’s hands thus, enabling savers who purchase securities when they have surplus funds to recover their money when they are in need of cash to (Afolaki 1991).
Money market play a key role in banks
liquidity management and transmission of
monetary policy. In normal times, money markets are among the most liquid in
the financial sector. By providing the appropriate instruments and partners for
liquidity trading the money market allows the refinancing of short-term and medium term positions and
facilitates the mitigations of your business liquidity risk. The banking system and the money market represent the
exclusive setting monetary policy operates in a developed active an efficient inte banks market
enhances the efficient of central banks monetary policy, transmitting its
impulses into the economy best thus the development of the money market
smoothes the progress of financial intermediation and boosts lending
to the economy , hence improving the
country’s economic and social welfare.
Therefore,
the development of the money market is
in all stakeholders interest the
banking system itself the central banks and the economy on
the whole.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
role of the financial market in the
development of the real sector and the economy at already cannot be overemphasized.
A critical characteristics of the money market
is that it should deep and broad so as
to absorb large volume of transactions
without significant effect on security prices
and interest this characteristics requires that these exist many active
market participatant such that the transaction of an individual investors will
have just infinitesimal effect on
security prices are interest rates the characteristics also requires that there
are always alternative investment
instrument available to satisfy the respective return risk desires of
investors in markets.
A money market that has depth and breath will be informationally as well as operationally efficient and will contribute significantly to the growth of the economy therefore these is need to examine this crucial market and evaluate. Its performance in terms of its contribution to economic development.
