Question
Answer in detail:
Explain the process of credit creation.
Solution
Commercial banks play an important role in ‘credit creation’ in the economy. They have the capacity to generate credit through demand deposits. These demand deposits make more credit than the initial deposits. The process of money creation can be explained by taking an example of a bank XYZ. A depositor deposits Rs 10,000 in his savings account, which will become the demand deposit of the bank. Based on the assumption that not all customers will turn up the same day to withdraw their deposits, the bank maintains a minimum cash reserve of 10 % of the demand deposits i.e. maintains a reserve of Rs.1000. It lends the remaining amount of Rs 9000 in the form of credit to other customers. This further creates deposits for the bank XYZ. Keeping the minimum cash deposits, the banks again lent the remaining and so on. With the cash reserve of Rs.1000, the credit creation is worth Rs.10, 000. This is given by the credit multiplier as: Credit multiplier = 1/ CRR = 1/ 10% = 10 The money supply in the economy will increase by the amount (times) of credit multiplier.

Agricultural Developmental Bank of Pakistan uses the production function approach for measuring bank outputs and costs. A translog cost function is estimated to provide an assessment of the bank's scale and scope efficiency, and to quantify the extent to which its production costs are sensitive to the size and output mix. Results show that the bank enjoys both overall and product-specific economies of scale and, therefore, there exists scope for the bank to expand its operations at a declining average cost. Even though bank branches in all size categories enjoy economies of scale, the extent of such economies is larger for branches operating at a smaller scale of production. This implies that as the bank branches grow larger in size in terms of both loan and deposit accounts, they move closer to attaining increasing returns to a factor. It is also shown that the marginal costs of servicing both loan and deposit accounts decline as bank branches grow larger in size in terms of either the number of loans or the number of deposits. This confirms that branches operating at a larger scale of production have attained greater cost-efficiency in terms of servicing the loan and deposit accounts.
The increasing returns to scale in larger branches is due to ______
