What do banks do with their excess reserves?

Banks use excess reserves to make loans to customers so that they can make profits on the interest Commercial banks cannot use excess reserves to make common loans. They can only use them to make loans to other banks who may need more required reserves. Excess reserves increase the monetary base but do not enter the M1 or M2 money supply. The only entity that can effect the total excess reserves is the Federal Reserve. When the fed decides to reduce its balance sheet, it will sell assets in the market and reduce an equal amount of excess reserves.

How is the change in reserve ratio effect monetary policy?

Changes in reserve ratio have an inverse relationship with the money supply. An decrease in reserve ratio allows banks to keep more excess reserves, and thus make more loans. More loans means an increase in the money supply. An increase has the opposite effect. As a addition to this answer, it can be stated that the so-called epicenter of monetary policy in the US is the reserves market controlled in part by the US Federal Reserve System. It is there that the overnight interest rate that the Fed targets is determined and its open market operations have their impact.
