The document discusses money, its functions and meaning. It defines money as anything generally accepted as a medium of exchange. The functions of money are outlined as a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account. Broad and narrow definitions of money are presented. The ideal attributes of money are described as durability, divisibility, transportability and non-counterfeitability. The evolution of money from commodity to fiat currency is summarized.
2. Money supply and the economy
• In this lecture and the next, we are going to look at the special role that
money plays in the economy.
• Changes in the amount of money can have a powerful effect on all the
major macroeconomic indicators, such as inflation,
unemployment, economic growth, interest rates, exchange
rates and the balance of payments.
•But before we answer why changes in the money supply affect
the economy?
•Let’s quickly examine the meaning and functions of
money
3. The meaning of Money
When we say that a person, say Jo-Nuellah has a lot of
money, we usually mean that she is wealthy, has a high
income, and is so rich that he can buy almost anything she
wants.
However, money is not income, and money is not wealth
Economists use the word in a more specific sense:
Money is the set of assets in the economy that people
regularly use to buy goods and services from other
people.
It is ANYTHING that is GENERALLY ACCEPTED as a
medium of exchange, that is, anything that will be
accepted in exchange for goods and services.
4. The functions of money
Medium of exchange
Refers to anything that is acceptable in exchange for goods and services.
Where money does not exist, goods must be exchanged through the
barter, the direct exchange of one good for another
Under the monetary system, double coincidence of wants is neatly
eliminated, as money is exchanged for goods and services when people buy
things; goods or services are exchanged for money when people sell things.
To serve as an efficient medium of exchange, money must have the
following characteristics.
generally readily acceptable, scarce, legal tender
(backed by law), portable, durable, divisible, easily
recognizable, homogeneous (uniform) and not easily
counterfeited.
5. The functions of money........Cont’d
means of storing wealth
A store of value is an item that people can use to transfer
purchasing power from the present to the future
Money allows us to store purchasing power;
you can sell your goods today and store the money, giving you a
claim to goods and services that you can exercise in the future.
To be a fully satisfactory store of future purchasing power, money must
have a stable value in terms of the things that it can buy
However, this function of money is hampered when there is high
inflation in the economy as inflation erodes the real value of money
6. A means of evaluation or a unit of account
o It provides a consistent way (yardstick) of quoting prices
and measuring economic act
o Money also allows dissimilar things (food, chocolate,
needle, pencil, cars, housing units etc) to be added up
and their values compared
A means of establishing value of future claims
and payments
o It serves as a means or standard for differed payment
o That is why people can buy now on credit and pay in
future and lecturers are willing to teach today and
expect to be paid sometime in the future

7. What should count as money?
Narrow definitions of money
include only items that can be spent directly, such as cash
(notes and coins) and current accounts deposits in banks
(since they can be spent directly by using cheques or debit cards)
NOTE!! Cheques, debit cards and credit cards, although they
are used to pay for goods directly, do not themselves count as
money
Rather it is the balance in the account on which they are
drawn that counts as money
broad definitions of money
also include various items such as deposit and savings accounts in
banks that cannot be spent directly, but which can nevertheless
be readily converted into cash (medium of exchange)
Liquidity is used to describe the ease with which an asset can be
converted into the economy’s medium of exchange
8. The ideal attributes of money
Durability
Divisibility
Transportability
Non-counterfeitability
9. The evolution of money
All sorts of commodities have been used as money at one time or
another — candy bars, cigarettes, huge wheels of carved stone, cowry shells,
silver and gold bars, and small scraps of paper.
These various kinds of money are generally divided into two groups, commodity
monies and fiat money
Commodity monies are those items used as money that also have an
intrinsic value in some other use.
The term intrinsic value means that the item would have value even if
it were not used as money E.g. Gold
Fiat money, sometimes called token money, is money that is intrinsically
worthless.
The public accepts paper money as a means of payment and a store of value
because the government declares it a legal tender and has taken steps to
ensure that its money is accepted
Printed on every Bank of Ghana note is “THIS IS ISSUED ON STATUTORY
AUTHORITY AND IS LEGAL TENDER FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY
AMOUNT.”
10. To see how bank deposit money evolved, let’s consider the origins of the
modern banking system.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, citizens of many lands used gold as money,
particularly for large transactions (i.e. gold standard).
Because gold is both inconvenient to carry around and susceptible to
theft, people began to place their gold with goldsmiths for safekeeping.
On receiving the gold, a goldsmith would issue a receipt to the depositor,
charging him a small fee for looking after his gold.
After a time, these receipts themselves, rather than the gold that they
represented, began to be traded for goods. That is, these receipts
became a medium of exchange.
The receipts became a form of paper money, making it unnecessary to go
to the goldsmith to withdraw gold for transactions.
Thus as the receipts became acceptable for settling market transactions,
they became money.
The evolution of bank deposit money
11. The Financial System
•The financial sector of any country consists of banks and other
financial institutions known as financial intermediaries
• They all have the common function of providing a link between
those who wish to lend and those who wish to borrow.
• They act as the mechanism whereby the supply of funds is matched to
the demand for funds.
•In this process, they provide four important services.
12. The role of the financial sector
expert advice
They advise their customers on financial matters: on the best way of investing
their funds and on alternative ways of obtaining finance
expertise in channelling funds
They have the specialist knowledge to be able to channel funds to those areas
that yield the highest return
They help to ensure that projects that are potentially profitable will be able to
obtain finance and thus, they help to increase allocative efficiency.
maturity transformation
This is process whereby financial intermediaries lend for longer periods of time
than they borrow
They are able to do this because with a large number of depositors it is highly
unlikely that they would all want to withdraw their deposits at the same time
risk transformation
This is the process whereby banks can spread the risks of lending by having a
large number of borrowers.
They have the expertise to be able to assess just how risky a loan is.
13. The banking system
Types of bank
Banks can be divided into two main groups: retail banks
and wholesale banks
retail banks:
They specialize in providing branch banking facilities to members of the
general public, but they also lend to business, albeit often on a short-term
basis. E.g. Barclays, HFC, Stanbic etc
Their business is in retail deposits and loans (i.e. deposits and
loans made through their branch network at published rates of
interest).
wholesale banks
These are banks specializing in large-scale deposits and loans and dealing
mainly with companies e.g. Investment Banks and finance houses
They often act as ‘brokers’, arranging loans for companies from a number of
different sources
14. The banking system
Wholesale banks deal in wholesale deposits and loans
Large-scale deposits and loans made by and to firms at negotiated
interest rates.
building societies
These institutions specialize in granting loans
(mortgages) for house purchase
In the past, there was a clear distinction between banks
and building societies
However they are similar today due to financial
deregulation
That is, the removal of or reduction in legal rules and
regulations governing the activities of financial institution
15. Deposit taking and lending
Banks are in the business of deposit taking and lending. To understand
this, we must distinguish between banks’ liabilities and assets.
Liabilities are customers’ deposits in banks.
There are four major types of deposits
sight deposits, i.e any deposits that can be withdrawn on demand
by the depositor without penalty E.g Current accounts
time deposits deposits require notice of withdrawal and a penalty is
charged for withdrawals on demand.
However, they normally pay a higher rate of interest than sight
accounts.
certificates of deposit are certificates issued by banks for fixed-
term interest-bearing deposits. They can be resold by the owner to
another party.
repos (sale and repurchase agreements)
This is an agreement between two financial institutions whereby one
in effect borrows from another by selling its assets, agreeing to buy
them back (repurchase them) at a fixed price and on a fixed date
16. Deposit taking and lending.....cont’d
Assets
these are a bank’s possessions or its claims on others
There are three main categories of assets.
cash and operational balances in the central bank
Cash balance is a certain amount of their assets they hold in cash and is
largely used to meet the day-to-day demands of customers
‘Operational balances’ are kept with the central bank for settling the day-to-
day payments between banks and can be withdrawn on demand
short-term loans
These are in the form of market loans, and bills of exchange
The market for short-term loans and deposits is known as the money market
longer-term loans
These consist primarily of loans to customers, both personal customers and
businesses
It also include investment in various subsidiary financial institutions and in
building societies and long-term government bonds

A bank’s balance sheet
It’s a financial statement that shows the total
liabilities and assets of the bank over a period of
one year.
Let’s quickly see how it looks like for a
typical bank

37. Which of the following describes a ‘repo’?Q
A. B. C. D.
25% 25%25%25%
A. Where a bank agrees to buy
certain assets from an institution
for cash in return for being able
to borrow from that institution in
the future.
B. Where a bank sells some assets
(e.g. bonds) and agrees to buy
them back at a particular price
after a set period of time.
C. Where bank X lends to bank Y
provided that bank Y is prepared
to lend to bank X in the future.
D. Where a bank sells assets to
person or institution X in return
for buying assets from person or
institution Y.
38. Liquidity and profitability
Banks have the two conflicting aims of liquidity and
profitability.
The liquidity of an asset is the ease with which it can be
converted into cash without loss.
Cash itself, by definition, is perfectly liquid
Other assets like personal & business loans, mortgages & T-bills are
less liquid
In general, the more liquid an asset, the less profitable it is, and vice
versa
For reasons of profitability, the banks will want to ‘borrow short’ and
‘lend long’
they want to hold illiquid assets in order to make a profit
after all, the less liquid the asset (i.e long-term loans), the greater the
interest the bank is likely to be able to charge

41. The balance between profitability and liquidity
• Profitability is the major aim of banks and most other financial
institutions.
• However, the aims of profitability and liquidity tend to conflict
Cash is totally liquid, but earns no profit
But they must hold sufficient liquid assets to be able to meet any demands from
their customers and avoid a crisis of confidence.
• The only way of reconciling the two conflicting aims is to hold a
mixture of liquid and illiquid assets
•The ratio of an institution’s liquid assets to total assets is known as its
liquidity ratio.
•If the liquidity ratio is too high, they will make too little profit.
•If the ratio is too low, there will be the risk that customers’ demands may not be able to
be met:
•This would cause a crisis of confidence and possible closure.
42. The central bank
The Bank of Ghana is Ghana’s central bank
All countries have a central bank and they fulfil
two vital roles in the economy
to oversee the whole monetary system and ensure
that banks and other financial institutions
operate as stably and as efficiently as possible.
to act as the government’s agent, both as its
banker and in carrying out monetary policy

(i.e. national debt)
It provides adequate liquidity to banks
oversees the activities of banks and other financial
institutions
operates monetary policy
operates exchange rate policy and manages reserves
44. The financial system
The money market is the market in short-term deposits
and loans. It consists of the discount and repo markets and
the parallel money markets
through which a central bank exercises control
