Government prints a worthless (no gold backing) piece of paper, called a "gilt" (should be "guilt"), sells it to a bank for face value i.e. £10,000. It then pays interest to the bank over the "term" i.e. 5 years, then has to redeem the gilt by paying back the £10,000, whereupon it prints another "gilt" to pay for it, and so on 'ad finitum'.
The bank, on the other hand, only has to keep about 0.6% as it's reserve for all our wages etc and proceeds to lend out 94%, to another bank who keeps the same reserve and so on, effectively turning the original (say £100) into £960 and charges us interest on that. This is why this financial crisis has occurred, cannot be solved by what they are doing, and is the largest "PONZI-SCHEME" ever created.....AND IS ILLEGAL, as all ponzi-schemes.
Selfish-monkey.

What is fractional reserve banking?
Fractional-reserve banking is what keeps the banks running. They must keep a certain amount of money in reserve (usually in the form of a deposit with the central bank), so that people can withdrawal their deposits.
If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve rate from 5 to 2.5 how does this affect the amount of money that would result because of fractional-reserve banking from an initial deposit into a bank?
If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve requirement from 5% to 2.5%, banks are required to hold less money in reserve and can lend out more of their deposits. This change effectively increases the money multiplier, allowing banks to create more money through lending. For example, with an initial deposit of $1,000, instead of only being able to lend out $950 (at 5% reserve), banks can now lend out $975 (at 2.5% reserve), leading to a greater overall increase in the money supply through fractional-reserve banking.

What accurately describes the requirement banks must meet under a fractional?
Under a fractional reserve banking system, banks are required to hold a fraction of their deposits as reserves, either in cash or at the central bank, while they can loan out the remainder. This reserve requirement ensures that banks maintain enough liquidity to meet withdrawal demands and helps stabilize the banking system. The specific reserve ratio can vary based on regulatory standards and the type of deposit accounts. This system allows banks to create credit and expand the money supply in the economy.

If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve rate from 4 to 2 how does this affect the amount of money that would result because of fractional-reserve banking from an initial deposit into a bank of 55?
If the Federal Reserve decreases the reserve requirement from 4% to 2%, banks can lend out a greater portion of their deposits. For an initial deposit of $55, with a 2% reserve requirement, the bank must hold $1.10 in reserve and can lend out $53.90. This increase in lending capacity allows for a larger money supply through the money multiplier effect, which, in this case, can significantly amplify the total amount of money created through subsequent deposits and lending.
