9. 4. Token money – money which has lower metallic value than its face value. Example 5¢, 10¢, 20¢ & 50¢ 5. Demand deposits – money that is transferable by way of cheque. (current account. 6. Other Liquid Savings Deposits Types of Money

10. M1 – Narrow money, directly used for transactions. (commercial banks) Currency includes coin and paper issued by Central Bank. Checkable deposits (current account) which can be convertible into cash on demand by writing cheques. MI = Currency + Checkable Deposits Money Supply

12. M3 =M2 + savings and deposits in other financial institutions besides commercial banks. Quasi money = M2 – M1 Broad Near Money = M3 – M1 Money Supply

20. How banks create money Someone walks to First bank and deposits $1000 in a checking account. Assume that banks are required to keep 10% of their deposits as reserves. Reserve ratio = 0.1. First bank keep $100 as reserves and makes a loan of $900. Suppose the person who took the loan from First bank deposits to his Checking account in Second bank. Second bank holds $90 as reserves and Lends $810. If the person who borrows the money from Second bank checking deposits to his Third bank. Third bank keeps $81 and lends $729. This process continues with new loans and deposits and the process goes on.

21. How money multiplier works The original $1000 cash deposit has created more deposit and loan accounts. Adding up the new accounts in all the banks …… $1000 + $900 + 810 + 729 + $656.10 + ………. = $10000. How did we come up with the sum? It is from the simple formula. = (initial cash deposit) X 1 (reserve ratio) 1000 X 1 = $10000. 0.1 Total Increase in account balance throughout the bank

22. How money multiplier works The term 1/ reserve ratio in the formula is called the money multiplier. Recall that M1 is the sum of deposits in commercial banks. Therefore the change in MS , M1 increases or decreases In this example First bank holds $1000 . However the total deposits increased by 10000. Therefore MS (M1) has increased by 9000 (10000 – 1000) The banking system, as a whole the MS expanded by a multiple of the initial cash deposit.

23. CENTRAL BANK CONTROL OF MONEY SUPPLY When Central Bank increases the required reserve ratio, the Banks must hold more reserves. To increase their reserves, the banks must decrease their lending, which decreases the quantity of money. When the Central Bank decreases the required reserve ratio, the banks may hold fewer reserves. To decrease their reserves, the banks increase their ending, which increases the quantity of money.

24. How The Discount Rate Works? When the Central Bank increases the discount rate, the banks must pay a higher price for any reserves that they borrow from Central Bank. Faced with a higher cost of reserves, the banks are less willing to borrow reserves. The banks must decrease their lending to decrease their borrowed reserves. So when the discount rate increases, the quantity of money decreases.

25. How The Discount Rate Works? When the Central Bank decreases the discount rate, the banks pay a lower price for any reserves that they borrow from Central Bank. Faced with a lower cost of reserves, the banks are willing to borrow more reserves and increase their lending. The quantity of money increases.

26. How An Open Market Operation Works ? The Central Bank’s major policy tool. When the Central Bank buys securities in an open market operation, it pays for them with newly created bank reserves and money. The banks can use their new reserves to create even more money. When the Central Bank sells securities in an open market operation, people pay for them with money and reserves.

28. CENTRAL BANK CONTROL OF MONEY SUPPLY The following sequence of events takes place: • An open market purchase creates excess reserves. • Banks lend excess reserves. • The quantity of money increases. • New money is used to make payments. • Some of new money is held as currency. • Some of the new money remains on deposit in banks. • Banks’ required reserves increase. • Excess reserves decrease but remain positive.

30. Change in quantity of money Change in monetary base Money multiplier = x CENTRAL BANK CONTROL OF MONEY SUPPLY • The Money Multiplier The number by which an increase in the monetary base is multiplied to find the resulting increase in the quantity of money. The larger the currency drain and the larger the required reserve ratio, the smaller is the money multiplier.
