Reserve requirement
A reserve requirement is a rule specifying the minimum reserves banks must hold against certain deposit liabilities. Eligible reserves and calculation methods vary by jurisdiction, and some systems have no positive requirement. Changes can affect bank liquidity and lending conditions.
Under a hypothetical 10% reserve requirement, a bank with $1 million in eligible deposits must hold at least $100,000 in qualifying reserves.
