Prefatory Note The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some imperfections may remain. Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. 1 In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial printing). 2 A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff. CONFIDENTIAL (FR) CLASS III - FOMC June 24, 1988 SUPPLEMENT CURRENT ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS Prepared for Federal Open Market Committee By the Staff Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System TABLE OF CONTENTS THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY Page Revised estimate of real GNP..................

Real personal consumption expenditures were revised down $3 billion owing to a lower estimate of spending on motor vehicles and parts. New estimates of net purchases of farm products by the Commodity Credit Corporation caused a downward revision to federal government nondefense purchases, along with an offsetting upward adjustment to farm inventories. The increase in the GNP fixed-weight price index, 3.7 percent at an annual rate, was little changed from the earlier estimate. in the GNP deflator However, the rise was lowered to 1.4 pertent at an annual rate, owing mainly to shifts in the composition of inventories. Personal income and consumption Total personal income advanced $13-1/4 billion in May, a bit below the average pace during the first four months of this year. Increases in wages and salaries were well maintained and accounted for nearly all of the overall rise in income. Disposable income was up substantially in May as the level of personal tax payments, which had risen sharply in April owing to an increase in federal nonwithheld income tax payments, fell back to about its March level. Nominal disposable income has risen about 6-1/2 percent at an annual rate over the first five months of the year; in real items, disposable income probably grew at about a 2 percent annual pace. Nominal personal consumption spending rose nearly $16 billion in May, boosted by greater expenditures on nondurable goods and for services. Revisions to earlier months raised outlays in April, but reduced spending in February and March. In real terms, the staff now estimates that consumption increased about 1-3/4 percent at an annual rate over the first five months of the year. The personal saving rate, which had dropped in April owing to the decline in disposable income, moved up to 4.5 percent in May, similar to its first-quarter level. Sales of new domestic motor vehicles rebounded in the second ten-day selling period of June. As a result, auto sales through June 20 averaged 7.4 million units at an annual rate, and sales of light trucks averaged 4.2 million units. In both cases, sales appear to be holding at about the same pace as in April and May despite some cutbacks in incentive programs. REAL GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT AND RELATED ITEMS (Percent change from previous period at compound annual rates; based on seasonally adjusted data) 1986-Q4 to 1987-Q4 1987-Q4 1988-Q1 Previous Revised 1.

Expansion in M1 and M2 in June is estimated to pick up to 7 and 6 percent annual rates, respectively. The acceleration in M1 reflects a turnaround in demand deposit growth and somewhat faster OCD expansion. The pickup in M2 is smaller than that of M1 owing to a slowdown in the nontransactions component. M3 is now estimated to accelerate to a 7 percent pace, with a marked pickup in large time deposit growth, which is occurring entirely at commercial banks. Data from large, weekly reporting banks through June 15 suggest continued strength in bank credit. Holdings of securities expanded at a much stronger pace in early June, as these banks made sizable additions to their trading accounts. Real estate loans continued growing at a robust pace in the first half of June. Consumer loan growth picked up moderately from May's pace, which was depressed by large issuances of consumer loan-backed securities. Expansion in business loans at all large banks moderated, but still maintained a double-digit pace through mid-June. However, commercial paper of nonfinancial businesses ran off and growth in the sum of business loans and commercial paper slowed to a moderate rate from the very rapid pace of recent months. MONETARY AGGREGATES (based on seasonally adjusted data unless otherwise noted) 19871 -----------1. 2. 3. 1988 Q1 1988 Q2p 1988 May 1988 Jun p Growth Q4 87Jun 88p Percent change at annual rates--------------------- MH M2 M3 5-3/4 8 7 ---------- 1988 Apr Percent change at 11.2 9.9 7.1 5 7-1/4 7 Levels bil. $ May 88 annual rates---------- Selected components 4.
