The Required Reserve Ratio is the percentage/fraction of required reserves that should be held for every dollar of deposits in a depository institution that is required by the Federal Reserve.
The required reserve ratio is lowered.
When the required reserve ratio is lowered, banks can loan out more money.
If this answer has anything to do with history and government, the actual words RRR stand for are Reserve Requirement Ratio(there are a lot of others that refer to the same abbreviation in other areas, such as "reduce, reuse, and recycle", and are totally different things). The RRR is the amount a bank must keep in reserves; it removes money from the economy. There is an inverse relationship between the RRR and the money supply; an increase in RRR leads to a decrease in the money supply, and a decrease in RRR leads to a decrease in the money supply.
