For country coverage see the statistical annex. 16. In order to elirr.inate the bias caused by including large countries in the over-all growth rates, mecian values have been estimated for various indicators. 9/ The mecian rate cf increase of broad money was 21 per cent in 1981, as compared tc 19 per 100 E/ECA /C~~. 9/5 cent in 1980. Monetary e~pansion was far greater than neces­ sitated by the increased volume of transactions. Excess liouicity was created, since GDP at current factor cost increased by only 13 per cent. 10/ This situation was most marked in the Congo,· Ee;ypt, Togo, the Sucan and Zaire. In contrast with the indications given by the over-all rates, the growth in money sup­ ply was accompanied by a slow-~own in the decline in external as­ sets, from 16 per cent in 1980 to 7 per cent in 1981. However, the primary source of liquicity e~pansion remained the rise in domestic credit, and particularly creait to the public sector.
