This is a process in which banks multiply money in the economy using the deposits of their consumers. When an individual deposits cash in a bank, the deposited cash becomes a liability to the bank and an asset to the depositor. The bank converts the liability into an asset through reserves and loans given out to borrowers. The process of money creation is referred to as credit creation. The process continues indefinitely subject to the following limitations: the cash ratio, lack of demand for loans and cash drain
