Where Does Money Come From?
PLAYERS
1. Commercial banks, central banks (e.g., Bank of Canada) and state or national banks.
2. Federal Reserve System vs Bank of Canada
3. Central banks (including BoC) does not hold on to retained earnings: it returns them to government.
4. Bank of International Settlements dictate rules for all central banks.
LOANS PROCESS
5. Money creation at the retail level (e.g., mortgage loans): a mere keyboard entry, repayable in real money earned.
6. Fallacy of loans as drawn from depositors’ funds: a widely held misconception, even among experts.
7. Fractional reserve lending: an antiquated notion.
8. Capital adequacy requirements: a seeming deliberate obfuscation: a veil of complexity.
9. FI’s reliance on probability estimates, but they are not exactly transparent.
10. BoC does publish material and has some degree of transparency.
PROFIT MOTIVE
11. The decision process for business loans is primarily conditioned by the banks’ profit motive.
INTERACTION BETWEEN CENTRAL and COMMERCIAL BANKS
12. The central bank is either:
- creating money for the government, or
- purchasing securities in the secondary market (government-issued securities bought and sold by large institutions, pension funds, and commercial banks).
13. Securities are issued by fed government when it has a shortfall in funding the budget.
14. Provision in legislation for either commercial banks or the central bank to create money ex nihilo is either non-existent or difficult to find. The officials deflect the question.
15. Summary
Argument of PMC: While there is nothing wrong with corporations making profit to create wealth in a free market system, the objection is that the commercial banks have appropriated what we would consider to be a public utility or vital public infrastructure, namely, money creation.
