other hand, to increase the money in the market the central bank buys these bonds from the public. This has the effect of discouraging borrowing since there is enough money in circulation. 5. Liquidity ratio The central bank determines the liquidity ratio that commercial banks are required to maintain. Whenever the central bank wants to curb the ability of commercial banks to advance loans to borrowers, it lowers the value of liquid assets that the commercial banks can maintain. This means that commercial banks will have fewer assets that they can readily convert to money. Since they have less money they therefore tend to increase interest rates thus discouraging borrowing .Conversely to increase the ability of commercial banks advancing money to borrowers, the central bank increases the value of liquid assets that commercial banks are required to hold. This means they have a lot of assets that can easily be converted to cash that can be given to borrowers. This means that they are likely to have more money to lend. They therefore decrease interest rates charged on loans thereby encouraging borrowing which consequently increasing the amount of money in supply. 6. Cash ratio The central bank will from time to time vary the amount of money that commercial banks are required for their normal operations. This has the effect of regulating the amount of money that is available to the commercial banks to advance as loans to their customers. In situations where the central bank wants to discourage borrowing, the cash ration is raised so that less money is available for lending. Conversely, to encourage borrowing, the central bank, the central bank will reduce the cash ratio so that more money is then available for lending by the commercial banks to their customer and subsequently increase the money in circulation. This study is intended to point out the effects of interest rate control on borrowing from the commercial banks. It endeavors to point out whether the effects of interest rate control (if any) have been achieved as intended by the central bank. We point out whether this policy has achieved the intended purposes.

1.4.2 HYPOTHESIS
Ho: Interest rate control has no effect on borrowing of money. Ho: Interest rate control has not produced the desired effects as intended by the central bank on borrowing of money.
This study aims to explain whether there are any effects on borrowing that result from interest rate control. The study also aims to show why despite the interest rate control measures put in place by the central bank, the borrowing of money has not been effective as evidenced by the ever increasing levels of inflation. To the government/central bank This study will point out the effects of the interest rate control methods employed by the central bank if any. It will show if the methods were effective and whether they can be improved to achieve the desired effects.
To the commercial banks This study will give a chance for any flaws to be corrected. The commercial banks can then liaise with the central bank in streamlining these strategies. This will save the commercial banks from disruptions that arise from the central bank changing policy from time to time. The commercial banks can also be in a position to provide the required amount of credit to borrowers at stable rates. To the loan borrowers This study will upon implementation stabilize the high rates of inflation thus saving them from losses that are accrued as a result of inflation. This also has the effect of ensuring that the right amount of credit is always available to borrowers.
