Study Notes
Money and Banking
- Commercial banks are financial institutions that accept deposits, grant loans, and make investments to earn profits.
- Credit creation is a process where commercial banks generate more deposits than their initial deposits.
- Assumptions include considering all banking as a single unit and all transactions processed through banks.
Initial Deposit and LRR Calculation
- An example scenario: A depositor initially deposits ₹5000.
- The bank deducts 20%, i.e., ₹1000 (LRR).
- This leaves ₹4000 for loans.
- This loan amount can be further lent, creating additional deposits
Central Bank Functions
- The central bank controls, operates, and regulates the entire banking system of a country.
- It issues currency (except one rupee notes and coins, which are issued by the Ministry of Finance).
- It manages and controls the money supply in the country.
- It maintains the external value of currency.
- It ensures uniformity in note issuance.
- It acts as a banker and advisor to the government, receiving and managing government funds.
- It acts as a custodian of foreign exchange reserves.
Banking Functions for Commercial Banks
- Lender of last resort: Banks can approach the central bank to meet financial obligations when needed
- Clearing house: facilitates transactions between banks.
Cash Reserve Ratio
- Every commercial bank is required to maintain a certain percentage of its net deposits with the central bank (RBI).
- The central bank acts as the custodian of this cash reserve ratio.
Monetary Policy
- Bank Rate:
- The rate at which a central bank lends to commercial banks for long-term borrowing.
- Increasing the bank rate decreases money supply, discourages borrowers.
- Decreasing the bank rate increases money supply, encourages borrowers.
- Repo Rate:
- The rate at which central banks lend money to commercial banks for short-term borrowings.
- Increasing the repo rate decreases money supply, discourages borrowers.
- Decreasing the repo rate increases money supply, encourages borrowers.
- Reverse Repo Rate:
- The rate at which central banks borrow money from commercial banks.
- Raising this rate reduces the money supply.
- Lowering this rate increases the money supply.
- Open Market Operations (OMO):
- Buying and selling government securities.
- Buying securities increases the money supply.
- Selling securities decreases the money supply.
Legal Reserve Ratio (LRR/CRR)
- A component of LRR is the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR)
- A percentage of deposits that commercial banks must maintain with the central bank.
- The central bank uses CRR to control the money supply.
- The other component is the Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)
Qualitative Measures
- Marginal Requirements: The difference between the amount of loan granted by a bank to the value of securities offered. A higher margin decreases loan availability and reduces money supply. Lowering the margin stimulates lending and increases money supply
- Moral Suasion: The central bank persuades commercial banks to follow a specific policy through orders and suggestions
- Selective Credit Control: Manipulating the types of loans banks can give to manage the money supply. Credit rationing regulates loan availability either to boost or to reduce the economy.
Barter System Notes
- A system of exchanging goods for goods.
- Issues of the barter system include a lack of a universal measure of value and the need for a "double coincidence of wants," where both parties have what the other wants for an exchange.
Money Definitions
- Money is anything acceptable as exchange medium, with a store of value, measure of value and a standard for deferred payments.
- Money Supply is the overall volume of money in an economy at a specific point.
- Different measures of money supply exist accounting for different types of deposits (M1, M2, M3).
