Abstract

The analysis will involve a tripartite system of agents in the form of depositors (which includes households and firms), retail banks and the monetary authorities in determining the money supply process within the economic system. It is the interaction of these economic actors that determines the money supply process in the form a monetary multiplier that supports the real economy.
