The additional income that the system generates by the multiplier process savings outflow If initially generated through borrowing -- savings outflow can be used for debt payments
Therefore, generating more income means more savings outflow to retire more debts and reduce what the economy owes to its past accumulated savings.
Note : not to be misled by the conclusion that net savings have been generated
We are only replacing what has been borrowed

multiplier process also reflects how the system generates income from every peso of inflow 2 3 M = [ 1+ (mpc)+ (mpc ) + ( ) n]
Where MPC < 1 n= infinitely small value implying that nothing is left at this point to further generate income
Income Above the equilibrium level yields net savings At the equilibrium level neither net savings or net dissavings

The consumption line pivots upward C2 wherein The same increase in income yields greater consumption and marginal propensity to consume

-
demand factors are not the only direct determinants of consumption.. influences of these factors may also determine consumption spending when treated as an aggregate
Direct
Changes
consumption means more income left in the circular flow for recirculation which multiplies into higher income levels the other hand, The multiplier works negatively when consumption decreases
On
Income level can influence consumption as a source Additional income yields additional consumption therefore, income level varies directly with consumption along line C in figures presented Savings factors indirectly determine consumption since both can be traded for each other in the same personal income
