For the same reason, setting reserve requirements at zero would reduce the extent to which the Fed has to break its balance sheet to conduct monetary policy using a minimum framework. More than half of the Fed`s increase in lending to Treasury dealers in response to September`s turmoil would have been avoided if the Fed had set reserve requirements at zero. In addition, the Fed plans to expand its balance sheet until excess reserves exceed the amount charged by banks for liquidity management through a fixed buffer. [6] This minimum amount demanded by banks, and thus the necessary size of the Fed`s balance sheet, will decrease dollar by dollar, leading to a decrease in reserve requirements. [7] The impact of changes in reserve requirements is difficult to assess; Each change can affect thousands of deposit-taking institutions in different ways, depending on each institution`s deposit base. Changes in reserve requirements also generally result in changes in tariff plans for certain banking services, as certain bank fees and loans are determined based on reserve requirements. [9] As mentioned above, the Fed does not have the monetary policy objective to demand reserves. In addition, Section 19 of the Federal Reserve Act also provides that any balance held to cover required reserves “may be used to meet liquidity requirements that may be imposed under other provisions of federal or state law.” 12 U.S.C. ยง 461(C)(2).
In denying the solvency of the reserves required as part of the liquidity ratio, the Federal Reserve interpreted “may” quite remarkably as “cannot.” (See “Realizing the Liquidity Advantage of Required Deposits with the Fed.”) Banks with revenues exceeding $16.9 million and $127.5 million were required to reserve 3% of all deposits. Banks with deposits of $16.9 million or less had no reserve requirements. A high requirement is particularly difficult for smaller banks. They don`t have a lot of money to lend it. Banks and other deposit-taking institutions (savings banks, credit unions and foreign banks) are required to keep part of their deposits as reserves. Custodian banks may hold reserves either in the form of safes or deposits with Federal Reserve banks.2 As of the 28th. In December 2000, deposit-taking institutions were required to hold a reserve requirement of 3 per cent for their first $42.8 million of net transaction accounts (demand and other verifiable deposits) and 10 per cent for their net transaction accounts in excess of $42.8 million.3 Currently, there is no reserve requirement for term and savings deposits. The table shows that the total reserve requirements of deposit-taking institutions was $36.9 billion in June 2001, according to Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.3. Conversely, if the Fed wants to ease monetary policy and increase liquidity, it lowers the target policy rate. This makes loans to federal funds cheaper. It has the same effect as the reduction of minimum reserves.
Here is the current federal funds rate. 1. Total trading accounts include demand deposits, automatic transfer service (ATS) accounts, NOW accounts, stock accounts, telephone or pre-authorized remittance accounts, unauthorized bankers` acceptances and affiliate bonds that mature in seven days or less. Net transaction accounts are the total of operating accounts minus amounts owed by other custodian banks and minus cash items in the collection process. A more detailed description of these types of deposits can be found on Form FR 2900 under www.federalreserve.gov/apps/reportforms/default.aspx Return to table The reserve requirement (or cash reserve ratio) is a central bank regulation that sets the minimum amount of reserves that must be held by a commercial bank. Minimum reserves are usually set by the central bank at a minimum percentage of the amount of deposits owed by the commercial bank to its customers. Commercial bank reserves generally consist of cash held by the bank and physically stored in the bank`s safe deposit box (safe deposit box money), plus the commercial bank`s balance in that bank`s account with the central bank. 106.
