The creation of credit simple illustration The Supply of Money • bank multiplier: 1/L • money multiplier:m = MS/MB = (D +C) / (R +C)
QIf an extra £100m is deposited in the banking system and the bank multiplier is 5, by how much will credit expand? £80m £180m £400m £500m
The creation of credit in the real world banks’ liquidity ratio may vary banks may hold a higher level of liquid assets when they perceive increased risk customers may not take up all the credit on offer banks may not operate a simple liquidity ratio how much of the extra cash will be withdrawn by the public?

Causes of increases in money supply banks reduce liquidity ratio households and firms choose to hold less cash public-sector deficit inflow of funds from abroad The Supply of Money
Money supply: exogenous or endogenous? relationship between money supply and the rate of interest The Supply of Money
The supply of money curve: (a) exogenous money supply MS Money supply determined independently of the demand for money and interest rates Rate of interest O Quantity of money

QAssuming that interest rates and exchange rates are determined by the market, a reduction in money supply will result in: a fall in both interest rates and exchange rates. a rise in both interest rates and exchange rates. a rise in interest rates and a fall in exchange rates. a fall in interest rates and a rise in exchange rates.
