Q. Why Commercial banks are called creators of money?
Answer: because the loans create deposits
Notes: When a commercial bank provides a loan to a customer, it credits the loan amount to the customer's account. This creates a new deposit in the banking system out of thin air - no existing money was needed to create this deposit. As loans create new deposits, banks expand the amount of money available in the economy.
