Lesson 19: Money Creation | Unit 3: Modern Banking
|
Page: 14 of 23
|
The amount of checkable deposits created is a multiple of the amount of excess reserves of the banking system.- When banks makes loans, they create deposits, and create money.
When does the process stop?- Banks will create $900 of deposits, which added to the original $100 deposit, gives $1,000 of deposits that did not previously exist.
Why?- The $100 in reserves added to the first bank are used to back, in total, $1,000 of deposits.
- If banks keep 10% of deposits in reserve, then every $1 of new reserves can be used to back $10 of new deposits.
- This is the result of banks practicing fractional-reserve banking.
