If the cash reserve ratio is lowered by the RBI, its impact on credit creation will be to

  • A.Increase it
  • B.Decrease it
  • C.No impact
  • D.None of the above

Answer: A

Credit creation will increase.

The credit multiplier is the reciprocal of the reserve ratio: \[\text{deposit multiplier} = \frac{1}{CRR}\] A lower CRR leaves banks more of each deposit to lend, so a given cash base supports more credit. Raising the CRR contracts credit in the same way.
