The monetary multiplier is inversely proportional to the reserve ratio. The monetary multiplier increases as the ratio decreases. The larger the reserve requirement, the lower the multiplier.

The money multiplier is important in macroeconomics because it regulates the money supply. Money multiplier enhances the effectiveness of monetary policies. From Adam Hayes’ article “Deposit Multiplier vs. Money Multiplier: What’s the Difference?” on Investopedia, the multiplier determines money supply.

There are a few limitations of the money multiplier, including low demand for loans. The limitations of the money multiplier make the actual value smaller. According to the article “The Limitations Of The Money Multiplier” on Faster Capital, behavioural patterns limit the money multiplier.

 From our study at IBC Financial, here are four limitations of money multiplier:

1. Low demand for bank loans: This causes a breakdown of the fractional reserve banking cycle, resulting in a lower money supply reserve multiplier.
2. Interest rate: High interest rates discourage borrowing
3. Legal regulations: Reserve and capital requirements can reduce the lending power of commercial banks.
4. Behavioural pattern: Banks may decide not to lend in times of financial crisis recessions for fear of non-repayment.

The money multiplier can be zero or negative in rare conditions. The money multiplier value of zero or negative is more theoretical than practical. According to Tejvan Pettinger’s article “Negative multiplier effect” on Economics Help, a negative money multiplier occurs when individuals rather than keep money in the bank, choose to hold physical cash.

From our experience at IBC Financial, reducing government spending can cause a negative multiplier effect. This implies less income, leading to a fall in aggregate demand. Individuals will save their cash rather than spend.

Also, massive withdrawals in a banking crisis will reduce the banks’ lending ability.

The money multiplier determines the money supply. The money multiplier estimates how much the money supply will increase with an increase in the base money. According to Joachim Ahrensdorf’s paper titled “Variations in the Money Multiplier and Their Implications for Central Banking” on IMF, central banks control money supply through the monetary liabilities.

Money multiplier indicates how many times a deposit can be multiplied in the economy. The money multiplier is used in money creation by commercial banks. According to the article “How Banks Create Money” on OpenEd CUNY, it is also used to determine the total amount of money supply created in the economy.What is the money multiplier for 10%?

Banks play a vital role in the multiplier effect by ensuring money creation. The banks give out loans to ensure money supply. According to Akhilesh Ganti’s article “What Is the Multiplier Effect? Formula and Example” on Investopedia, banks lend one minus the reserve ratio of deposits to create money.

In the United States, the Federal Reserve influences the money multiplier through monetary policies. In Canada, the Bank of Canada fulfills a similar role by using various policy tools to manage the money supply. According to Mark Bonham’s article “Bank of Canada” in The Canadian Encyclopedia, the Bank of Canada uses various tools to influence the money multiplier.

The difference between deposit and money multiplier is that the former is the maximum amount of money a bank can create. The difference is that deposit multiplier focuses on a given amount of reserve. The deposit multiplier is only based on the initial increase in money supply. The money multiplier considers all rounds of lending.
