Board To Curb Inflation Peril By Reserve Cut
The Federal Reserve Board plans a 50 percent rise in reserve requirements for member banks within 90 days to reduce excess reserves from 2.27 billion to about 1.135 billion. The move follows Roosevelt’s demand to study foreign gold inflows and their effect on securities and the economy and was tentatively agreed by the board, open market committee, Morgenthau, and reserve bank presidents. Officials said action may wait until early 1937 pending bank credit and economic data from upcoming developments.
