    Reserve Requirements
    Central banks mandate the fraction of customer deposits that commercial banks must hold in reserve, either as vault cash or on deposit with the central bank. Although traditionally a powerful tool for controlling the money multiplier, its use has become less frequent in developed economies, as static reserve requirements can sometimes conflict with dynamic liquidity management needs. Post-2008, many jurisdictions moved to "ample rese…

    Calculation and Money Multiplier Effect
    The direct impact of the FRR is quantified through the simple money multiplier ($M$). If $RR$ is the fractional reserve ratio, the maximum theoretical expansion of the money supply ($\Delta M$) resulting from an initial injection of base money ($B$) is given by:
    $$M = \frac{1}{RR}$$

  3. Fractional Reserve Ratio

    $$M = \frac{1}{RR}$$
    If the FRR is set at 10% (or $0.10$), the money multiplier is 10. This implies that every unit of base money can theoretically support ten units of broad money (deposits).
    However, empirical observations suggest that the actual money multiplier ($M_A$) is often lower than the theoretical maximum due to leakages, primarily in the form of excess reserves ($ER$) held by banks above the required minimum, and the cash holdings ($C$) of the non-bank public. Thus, a more realistic measur…
