Money is anything that is generally accepted as
a means of payment in the settlement of
transactions
Money supply
Money supply refers to the stock of money at a point
in time.

Theory of determinants of Money Supply
A cash reserve of 10 p.c., a deposit of Rs. 1,000 results in a Rs. 10,000 increase in
money supply.
The credit multiplier is 10.
This is the mechanism of deposit multiplication through the process of credit
creation.
credit multiplier is:
∆ M = ∆ D. 1/r
Or, ∆M/∆D = 1/r
where ∆ D means the original deposit and r represent the legal minimum cash
reserve ratio.
The smaller the ‘r’, the higher is the value of credit multiplier.
If ‘r’ is raised, the credit or deposit multiplier will be weaker.
In short, banks can create deposits through lending much more than their original
amount of deposits.
.
Excess reserves—the difference between actual reserve and required
reserve—form the basis of monetary expansion through bank lending.
Banks have to maintain legal reserve requirements stipulated by the
central bank.
Any bank that holds money more than legal reserve ratio can make
loans. This amount may be called excess reserves
D = 1-r
where r is the minimum cash reserve. The value of the third deposit will
be the value of the second deposit, d, minus the legal cash reserve on the
second deposit, i.e.,
d (1 -r) = d2
The value of the fourth deposit will be equivalent to the value of the third
deposit, d2, minus the required reserve on the third deposit, i.e.,
d2 (1 – r) = d3
and that of the fifth deposit
d3 (1 – r) = d4
The sequence of this infinite but diminishing chain of deposit creation and,
hence, change in total money supply, ∆M, after n deposits resulting from a
deposit of Re. 1, is:
∆ M = 1 + d + d2 + d3 + d4 + … + dn -1
Since r < 1, the sum of this geometric progression taken to an infinite number
of periods may be found by the formula
∆M = 1/1 – d
d = 1 – r. Then,
∆M = 1/1 – 1 + r = 1/r
If the primary deposit be ∆ D
∆M = ∆D. 1/r
This effect is known as money multiplier
If r = 1/10 (i.e., 10 p.c.), the value of bank multiplier becomes 10, i.e., an
increase in initial deposit of Rs. 1,000 causes total deposits or money supply to
rise by Rs. 10,000.
The initial deposit has “multiplier” effect on money supply. The credit
multiplier is then defined as the total increase in money supply divided by
the increase in deposit, i.e.,
∆M /∆D = 1/r
The deposit multiplier (or money multiplier) is equal to the reciprocal of
minimum cash reserve ratio.
If r = 0.2, the credit multiplier would be 5. This means money supply increases
by Rs. 5 for each one rupee increase in deposit.
Limitations of credit creation
Leakage of Cash:
In the process of credit expansion, the basic assumption is that there is no
leakage of cash, i.e., the amount lent by one bank is immediately deposited in
another bank. If the borrowers do not deposit the entire amount of sanctioned
loans. A part of the loaned amount is deposited. This will cause multiplier
effect to become weaker.
Preference for Liquid Cash:
The credit creating capacity of banks greatly depends on the desire of the
public to hold cash. If people use more cash rather than cheque, the banks
will be left with a smaller amount of credit deposit and, consequently, the
process of credit creation will slow down.
Central Bank’s Influence:
The credit creation formula that the value of the deposit multiplier
depends on the value of cash reserve ratio is determined by the central bank
of a country. If it is raised by the central bank, credit creating power of the
commercial banks will be smaller and, hence, the multiplier will be weaker.
Business Conditions:
Credit creation depends upon the business conditions prevailing in an
economy. If business conditions look unfavourable, people will take fewer
loans and advances from the commercial banks. Thus the total volume of
money supply will be smaller. Larger credit expansion is possible only in
periods of prosperity.
Despite these limitations, there is no doubt that commercial banks can and do
create credit and thus increase the supply of money in an economy.
The larger the reserve-deposit ratio (r), the
smaller the money multiplier.
The larger the currency-deposit ratio (c), the
smaller the money multiplier currency- deposit
ratio, c.
Smaller the c, the smaller the proportion of the high-
powered money that is being used as currency
Monetary policy refers to the policy of the
central bank with regard to the use of
monetary instruments under its control to
achieve the goals specified in the Act.
Reserve Rates
CRR : 3%
SLR : 18 %
It is the rate at which the Reserve Bank is ready to buy or rediscount bills of
exchange or other commercial papers.
4.25 %
4%
6.25%
Reverse Repo Rate: The (fixed) interest rate at
which the Reserve Bank absorbs liquidity, on
an overnight basis, from banks against the
collateral of eligible government securities
under the LAF.
Current reverse repo rate : 3.35 %
3%
18 %
Moral Suasion
Direct Action
Under this method the RBI can impose an action against a bank. If
certain banks are not adhering to the RBI's directives, the RBI may
refuse to rediscount their bills and securities. Secondly, RBI may
refuse credit supply to those banks whose borrowings are in
excess to their capital. Central bank can penalize a bank by
changing some rates. At last it can even put a ban on a particular
bank if it dose not follow its directives and work against the
objectives of the monetary policy.
