Reserve Money

Reserve Money = Currency in Circulation + Required Reserves + Excess Reserves

Currency in Circulation refers to notes and coins issued by BNM less the amount held by banking institutions.

Required Reserves refer to the sum placed by banking institutions (except Discount Houses) with BNM in compliance with the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR). Banking institutions must place an amount that is equivalent to the SRR ratio times the eligible liabilities.

Excess Reserves refer to cash in vaults of the banking institutions and their current accounts (include Islamic Banking Scheme or SPI current accounts) with BNM.
