19. Reserve Requirements
When a bank takes a deposit into an account on which a check
can be written, it must place a percentage of that deposit on
reserve at a Federal Reserve bank. That percentage is called
the reserve ratio.
s RR raised - banks reduce lending
s RR lowered - banks increase lending
20. Reserve Requirements
s An increase in deposit reserve requirements
decreases the deposit and money multipliers,
slowing the growth of money, deposits and loans
reduces the amount of excess legal reserves -
institutions deficient in required legal reserves
will have to sell securities, cut back on loans, or
borrow reserves
increases interest rates, particularly in the money
market, as depository institutions scramble to
cover any reserve deficiencies
21. The Discount Rate
s The discount rate is the annual percentage
interest charge levied against those institutions
choosing to borrow reserves from the discount
window of the Central Bank.
s Frequent borrowing is discouraged and may
be penalized with a higher interest rate.
22. The Discount Rate
s An increase in the discount rate
reduces the volume of loans from the discount
window (cost effect)
makes borrowing from the Fed less attractive
(substitution effect)
signals that the Fed is pushing for tighter credit
conditions (announcement effect), and market
participants may respond by curtailing their
spending plans or by accelerating their
borrowings (to secure the credit they need before
interest rates move even higher - negative
psychological effect)
23. Monetary Policy
s If the Central Bank wants to expand the economy it can
q buy bonds
q decrease the Discount Rate
q lower the reserve ratio.
q This increases the supply of loanable funds. This lowers
interest rates which increases aggregate demand.
s If the central bank wants to contract the economy it can
q sell bonds
q increase the Discount Rate
q raise the reserve ratio.
q This decreases the supply of loanable funds. This raises
interest rates which decreases aggregate demand.
