Questions
Explain how credit rationing helps to control credit in an economy.
Explain how margin money helps to control credit in an economy.
Solution
- Credit Rationing - In this method, the 'Central Bank' imposes restrictions on demand of accommodation for more credits by the commercial banks. The 'Central Bank' limits the credit available to each of the commercial banks. Thus, this method of credit rationing directly affects the credit-granting (lending) capacity of commercial banks.
- Margin money - Margin requirement is a credit management tool utilized by institutions like banks. It represents the collateral amount a borrower must furnish to secure a loan, usually stated as a percentage of the entire transaction value. Implementing a margin requirement allows the lender to control the extent of credit extended to the borrower or trader. To mitigate credit, the RBI can raise the margin requirement.
