WHAT THE ECONOMY WILL BE LIKE IN 19*3 The new year is always a time for economic forecasts 1982 was a bad year, in terms of economics, for manv people. The question is: Will 1983 be better? WHAT HAPPENED IN 19*2 1982 can be viewed as a year in which the Federal government, specifically the Federal Reserve Board, continued policies, designed to reduce the rate of inflation Inflation is simply caused by ihe Federal Reserve pumping too much money into the economy relative to the goods and services being produced. In short, the old saying that "inflation is caused by too much money chasing too few goods." is true. At times in the late 19~0*> the Federal Reserve was allowing the money supply to grow at two to three times the rate of growth of the economy. This policy was the cause of the very high inflation rates at that time. In 1982 the Federal Reserve con tinued to try to reduce the inflation rate by restricting the growth of the money supply to the range of 3*t to 5r? annually, which is the rate of growth for the economy m normal times. Consequently, the inflation rate fell to approximately 5r? annually , which is the lowest rate in a decade. This is j considerable achieve ment when we recogntre that the inflation rate was over I5r? only a couple of years ago. However, an inevitable conse quence of the anti-inflation policies of cxhe Federal Reserve in 1982 was a continued economic recession and high and rising unemployment . The reason is that when the Federal Reserve reduces the growth rate of the money supply, the credit markets (banks, brokerage houses, etc.) initially in terpret this action as meaning km money to lend rather than less in flation. Hence, as with any product when there is less of it. its price rises - in this case, the price of lending money, the interest rale, rises. Higher interest rates mean less borrowing by businesses and con sumers, which means tess spending and an econoaaic slowdown, or recession. An uawk slowdown causes higher unmplnynm The above duciiiprion toaiy paints the picture of the economy in 1982. (Continued on page W> o 3-1.^ Vi3:T^ri;u. SAVE 66?
