Study Notes
Grade 10 - Money and Credit - Question/Answers
- High-risk credit situations: Credit can lead to further problems for borrowers, particularly if they face losses or have difficulty repaying loans, potentially leading to debt traps. Borrowers might have to sell assets to repay.
- Double Coincidence of Wants: Money solves the problem of needing both parties in a transaction to want what the other party has. Barter requires a double coincidence while money acts as a medium of exchange.
- Banks as Mediators: Banks act as intermediaries between those with surplus funds (depositors) and those needing funds (borrowers). They lend money, earning profit through interest paid by borrowers.
- Indian Currency Notes: Indian currency notes are issued by the Reserve Bank of India, on behalf of the Central Government, and guaranteed by the Central Government.
- Expanding Formal Credit Sources: Formal credit sources, like banks, are vital for a healthy economy. Informal sources often charge high interest rates, potentially causing debt problems and hindering economic development.
- Reasons Banks May Not Lend: Banks may not lend to certain borrowers due to insufficient documentation, irregular income, potential non-repayment risk, or if borrowers are added to a list of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs).
- Reserve Bank of India Supervision: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) supervises banks to ensure stability and maintain proper loan practices, including monitoring cash, lending to small businesses, and interest rates.
- Credit for Development: Credit is essential for economic growth. It allows for the start of businesses, agricultural modernization, industry development, and improvements in living standards.
- Borrower Choices (Small Business): Borrowers considering a loan must weigh the interest rates of banks versus moneylenders. The required paperwork/ documentation and repayment options are also crucial.
- Small Farmers and Credit: Many small farmers in India rely on informal lenders due to high-interest rates from banks and lack of documentation or assets. Other sources of short-term loans exist (moneylenders, agricultural traders).
- Cheap Credit Options: Small farmers can look towards formal sources of credit (banks, cooperatives) to secure cheap credit and avoid high interest rates associated with informal lenders for better financial stability.
- Household Credit Needs: Many households rely on informal loan sources as the main form of credit.
- Banks and Collateral: Banks require collateral (assets) from borrowers to secure loans. This reduces risk for the bank in case of non-repayment.
- Money as Medium of Exchange: Money facilitates trading by acting as a neutral intermediary. Money is accepted by sellers in exchange for goods and is then used by the buyer to acquire other goods or services.
- Demand Deposits: Demand deposits (held by bank customers) allow for easy and on-demand withdrawal of funds.
- Informal Credit Concerns: High-interest rates, absence of oversight, and lack of regulations within the informal sector of lending raise concerns for both people and the economy.
