The monetary system; the demand for money

Article Abstract:

Many of the theories about money supply and demand are taken from the work of JM Keynes. One way of assessing the demand for money is to look at the type of investment made, whether it is in money, bonds or a mixture of the two. As bonds are identified as carrying a higher risk, the more bonds that are held, the more interest rates have to rise. If interest rates rise bank and building societies are obliged to raise their rates. Bond holders get an increase in their yield also.

Government debt, money and interest rates

Article Abstract:

Recent research has focused on two of the criteria set down in the 1991 Maastricht Treaty for countries which are to be involved in the final stages of monetary union. These are that outstanding government debt should not be more than 60% of GDP and that the government budget deficit should not be greater than 3% of its GDP. Particular attention has been given to what the criteria imply about the conduct of monetary policy in practice.
