Role of Money

In modern economics, money plays a very crucial role as medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value and standard of deferred payment. The banking system, a cornerstone of financial markets, facilitates the creation and circulation of money.

Commercial banks accept deposits from the public and provide loans. A fraction of the deposits are kept by the commercial banks as reserves and the rest is lent out. This amplifies the money supply in the economy through the 'Multiplier Effect'. The RBI as central Bank regulates the money supply through monetary policy tools. These tools influence the credit availability and overall liquidity in the system, impacting inflation, growth and employment.
