Key Points: Money Creation by Banking System
- Banks create money by lending, as all depositors do not withdraw money at the same time.
- When a bank gives a loan, it creates a new deposit, increasing money supply.
- Assets of a bank = Reserves + Loans.
- Liabilities of a bank = Deposits.
- Money supply (M1) = Currency + Deposits; with no currency, M1 equals total deposits.
