By creating credit commercial banks contribute money supply in the economy.
They create credit in the form of derivative demand deposits . This derivative
demand deposits will be many times more than the initial primary deposits.
If primary deposits in a bank is 1000 and CRR is 10%, the demand deposits created
by the banking system will be 10,000. (Explain with balance sheets of two or three
banks).
