Explanation:
And, creation of money or credit refers to the multiplication of loans and advances. As 'every loan creates a deposit', credit creation by commercial banks refers to the multiplication of original bank deposits. Thus, “Banks are not merely purveyors of money, but also, in an important sense, manufacturers of money.”
Answer :
Commercial banks plays an important role of 'money creator' in the economy. They have the capacity to generate credit through demand deposits. These demand deposits make credit more than the initial deposits.
The process of money creation can be explained by taking an example;
Suppose a depositor deposits Rs.10,000 in his savings account of a bank XYZ, which will become the demand deposits of the bank. Based on the assumption that not all customers will turn up at the same day to withdraw their deposits, banks maintains a minimum cash reserve of 10% of the demand deposits, Rs.10,000. It lends the remaining amount of Rs.9000 in the form of credit to other customers. This further creates deposits for the bank XYZ. With the cash reserve of Rs.1000, the credit creation is worth Rs.10,000. So, the credit multiplier is given by: Credit multiplier= 1 /10% =10
The money supply in the economy will increase by the amount (times) of credit multiplier.
