उत्तर
- A country's central bank decides the margin requirement for secured loans as part of its credit control system. This is the percentage of the collateral's value that a borrower must provide as security for a loan.
- The central bank can limit the quantity of credit available to borrowers by adjusting the margin requirement.
- A greater margin requirement requires borrowers to produce more collateral, restricting the amount they can borrow.
- This enables the central bank to control the flow of credit in the economy, affecting inflation, consumption, and investment.
