Lesson 19: Money Creation | Unit 4: The Multiplier Page: 17 of 23

Topic: Reserve Ratio <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

The key to the deposit multiplier is required reserves.

It is no coincidence that when the reserve ratio is 10%:

  • $10 of deposits require $1 of reserves and that $1 of reserves can back up $10 of deposits.
  • It's all part of the same process.
The deposit multiplier is the inverse of the reserve ratio.

The key to the deposit creation process:

  • Each bank keeps a fraction of the reserves received when checks are deposited and cleared.
  • The bank sends along the rest to another bank by making a loan.
Therefore:
  • The less banks keep, the more they send to other banks and the more is used to perpetuate the process.
