Lesson 18: Banking | Unit 4: Regulating Banks
|
Page: 18 of 24
|
Banking is a heavily regulated industry. Reasons: - First: Banks have the temptation to go for large profits at the expense of protecting deposits.
- Second: The economy's health rests with having the 'correct' money supply.
The problems: - Banks get carried away seeking profits without having enough deposit-protecting reserves.
- Customers can't withdraw deposits and lose trust.
- Banks shut down, remaining bank deposits become worthless, and the money supply shrinks.
- The economy heads into a recession.
Important points: - A failed bank is bad for the economy.
- Government can control the checking account part of money only by controlling and regulating banks.
