Money is printed by the U. S. Treasury Department and yet economists claim that banks create money. Fully explain how banks create money.

Most of the money in our economy is created by banks, in the form of bank deposits – the numbers that appear in your account. Banks create new money whenever they make loans. 97% of the money in the economy today exists as bank deposits, whilst just 3% is physical cash. This short video explains:

The money that banks create isn’t the paper money that bears the logo of the government-owned Bank of England. It’s the electronic deposit money that flashes up on the screen when you check your balance at an ATM. Right now, this money (bank deposits) makes up over 97% of all the money in the economy. Only 3% of the money is still in that old-fashioned form of cash that you can touch.

I hope this helps you.

Ibelieve that is true! but go with your gut.good luck!
