Your bank approves a loan. Whose savings is it lending you? Usually, nobody's. In 2014, the Bank of England explained it: when a bank makes a loan, it creates a matching deposit in your account. That deposit is new money. Say Malla Bank lends Sravanthi two hundred thousand. It takes nothing from other customers. It simply credits her account. Now she owes the bank, and the bank owes her the deposit. When she repays, that money disappears. So why can't banks create endless money? They need enough capital, borrowers who can repay, and they face the central bank's interest rate. Money and debt are born as twins. Follow Malla Banking Academy for one banking idea a day.
