Скачать или смотреть How Banks Create Money

Banks create money by making loans. When a customer takes out a personal loan, the bank records it on the assets side of its balance sheet and credits the customer’s deposit account on the liabilities side.

The bank’s balance sheet has grown on both sides, and the supply of money into the economy has increased, by the size of the loan. The bank has created ‘broad’ money without any change in the amount of ‘base’ money in the economy. Paying off a bank loan, mortgage or credit card, conversely, destroys money.

Money has three functions in a modern economy: a store of value, a unit of account and a medium of exchange. And it exists in different forms. By making loans, banks create money, but several factors limit their ability to do so.
