I.5. Objectives of the
study
The study has the general and specific objectives
General objective
The performance of the economy as reflected in factors such as
law inflation rate, economic output and full employment.
The impact of financial sector through stabilizer-controller
(NBR) on the economic growth towards development for Rwanda is necessary to
determine whether financial sector can be viewed as an alternative pillar for
future economic growth especially within the Vision 2020 framework.
Specific objectives
v To identify the activities of central bank on bank system,
v To examine the participation of the beneficiaries on
development,
v To examine the real impact of National Bank of Rwanda's
activities on beneficiaries of development,
v To come up with suggestions and recommendations to the
above.
1.6. Identification of
research.
It is mindset that there are many indicators of development
but some of them will be selected for being estimated and others will be
represented by error term.
The topic has four variables that are explained (dependent)
variable and explanatory (independent) variables.
Explained variable is money stock (Mt) and the
explanatory variables are output gap that is the variation of GDP and its
potential (GDP Gap or GY), inflation Gap that is variation of inflation and its
potential (IG) and variation of exchange rate (DEX). The model from these
variables explains the role of central bank through monetary policy.
Mt= B0 + B1Mt-1 +
B2IGt + B3IGt-1 +
B4YGt + B5YGt-1 +B
6DEXt +B 7DEXt-1 +
åt
Where, Mt is money stock or quantity of money,
IGt is inflation gap, YGt is GDP gap and DEX is variation
of exchange rate.
In this research, only quantitative methods with secondary data
analyzed by computer program called «E-VIEWS 3.1» will be
considered.
1.7. Scope and limitations
of the study
Development economic has a greater scope, in addition to being
concerned with the efficient allocation existing scarce productive resources
and with their sustained growth over time. It must also deal with the economic,
social, political and institutional mechanisms, both public and private,

located in macroeconomics science.
The study analyses the role of National Bank of Rwanda on
economic growth towards development through development of financial
institutions by monetary policy covers the period of 1995 to 2010.
In space, the study is concerned with case of National Bank of
Rwanda (NBR)
The topic under study may not be easy to conduct and therefore
may not be properly achieved. This is merely because of the fact that there are
a number of obstacles encountered in gathering data, ranging from limitations
of time and finance, doubtfulness of data availability etc.
1.8. Organization of the
study
As the first chapter of general introduction is seen above,
the rest of the study is structured as follows: chapter two gives brief review
of literature on the subject, Chapter three presents the methodology used, in
chapter four we analyze data and report our results, last chapter contains
conclusion and suggestions.
