Dr Marek Porzycki Chair for Economic Policy

Two stages:  Creation of the monetary base by the central bank  Creation of scritpural (cashless) money by deposit and credit operations of commercial banks  influenced by the monetary policy of the central bank, in particular by the reserve requirement and interest rates

Liabilities of a central bank:  Currency (physical cash) in circulation  Reserves - deposits of commercial banks held at the central bank - currency (physical cash) held in bank vaults Required reserves – reserves that commercial banks are required to hold at the central bank, calculated as a percentage of total deposits (  reserve requirement) Excess reserves – voluntary additional reserves held by the banks („money parked at the central bank”). Monetary base is steered by the central bank via monetary policy instruments (open market operations, interest rates, reserve requirements).

 Fractional reserve banking – banks keep only a fraction of their customers’ deposits as readily available reserves (i.e. cash in vaults and deposits at the central bank). They are no longer required to maintain 100% backing for all deposits.  This practice is safe in general, as depositors generally do not all demand payment at the same time. However, it makes banks insolvent in case of a bank run.  Commercial banks use their reserves to extend credit (make loans) to general public.  Fractional reserve banking allows for the creation of money.

 Money loaned to general public eventually returns to the banking system as deposits.  Deposits constitute cashless money and can be used for payment.  Deposits are also used to fund further loans/credit, which again eventually returns to the banking system as new deposits.  This scheme is repeated as long as market participants are able and willing to take and extend new loans and make deposits.

 See table in the handout  Money multiplier  maximum money creation possible from a specified monetary base. Money multiplier is the inverse of the reserve requirement.  Actual creation of money depends on the credit expansion - actual volume of lending by commercial banks and of the resulting deposits.  Lending by commercial banks is influenced by interest rates of the central bank set within the framework of its monetary policy (see next course).

 Monetary base – M0  Monetary aggregates: - M1 (narrow money): Currency in circulation + overnight deposits (can be immediately converted into currency or used for cashless payments) - M2 („intermediate” money): M1 + deposits with an agreed maturity up to 2 years + deposits redeemable at a period of notice up to 3 months. - M3 (broad money): M2 + repurchase agreements + money market fund (MMF) shares/units + debt securities up to 2 years Source: ECB website, /hist.en.html /hist.en.html

 Definition: decrease in the value of money over time, resulting in an increase in general level of prices  Measure: inflation rate, annualized change in a price index (CPI, HICP)  Hyperinflation – inflation exceeding 50% per month  Causes of inflation - debate: monetarism vs. Keynesianism

 „Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output” – Milton Friedman  Equation by Irving Fisher: MV = PQ M – money supply V – velocity of money (number of times each currency unit is spent) P – general price level Q – quantity of goods, services and assets sold, total output of the economy  Simplified: a rise in the money supply not corresponding to a rise in output (=economic growth) causes inflation

 Inflation is caused by increase in aggregate demand in the economy – „demand-pull inflation”.  „Demand-pull” inflation is linked to economic growth (Phillips curve).  „Cost-push” inflation results from increase of costs (e.g. oil price hike).  Inflation results also from expectations, leading employees to demand higher wages.

 Monetarist view of inflation (quantity theory of money) explains inflation in the long run, as in the long run inflation results from changes in money supply.  Quantity theory of money provides explanation for all cases of hyperinflation.  Keynesian theory of inflation explains causes of increasing prices in the real economy, which tend to influence inflation in the short run.

 Options of any government running a budget deficit: a) borrowing money by issuing bonds bought by the general public (mostly financial sector) b) creating new money to pay for expenses c) letting the central bank to create new money in order to buy govt bonds („monetizing debt” or „monetary financing”) Options b) and c) result in an expansion of monetary base („printing money”). If such situation persists, according to the quantity theory of money it will lead to inflation. No inflation if the overall money supply does not grow (in case of credit contraction). In such case the increase in the monetary base is offset by the decrease of the money multiplier resulting from less lending by banks. Example: current crisis.

 Definition – opposite of inflation: increase in the value of money over time, resulting in decrease in general level of prices  Why is deflation harmful for the economy?  Deflation creates incentive to delay purchases and consumption, reducing demand and economic activity. This in turn causes prices to decrease more, creating a deflationary spiral.
