Offline Version: PDF
Term money multiplier Definition: The magnified change in money, both checkable deposits and currency, resulting from a change in bank reserves. Compared to the simple deposit multiplier, the money multiplier builds on the inverse of the required-reserves ratio, but also takes into consideration that banks keep excess reserves, and the public transfers some checkable deposits into cash and savings.
