The Role of Interest The Role of Interest Rates in the Financial Rates in the Financial SectorSector When interest rates rise, the value of
the flow of payments from fixed-interest-rate bonds goes down because more can be earned on new bonds that pay the new, higher interest.

A bank is a financial institution whose primary function is holding money for, and lending money to, individuals and firms.
Individuals’ deposits in savings and chequing accounts serve the same function as does currency and are also considered money.

Money As a Medium of Money As a Medium of ExchangeExchange Without money, we would have to
barter—a direct exchange of goods and services.
Money facilitates exchange by reducing the cost of trading.

Money As a Medium of Money As a Medium of ExchangeExchange Money does not have to have any
inherent value to function as a medium of exchange.
All that is necessary is that everyone believes that other people will exchange it for their goods.

Money As a Medium of Money As a Medium of ExchangeExchange The Bank of Canada’s job is to not
issue too much or too little money.
If there is too much money, compared to the goods and services at existing prices, the goods and services will sell out, or the prices will rise.

Money As a Unit of Money As a Unit of AccountAccount Money prices are actually relative
prices. A single unit of account saves our
limited memories and helps us make reasonable decisions based on relative costs.

Money As a Unit of Money As a Unit of AccountAccount Money is a useful unit of account only
as long as its value relative to other prices does not change too quickly.
In a hyperinflation, all prices rise so much that our frame of reference is lost and money loses its usefulness as a unit of account.

also depends upon how well it maintains its value.

Alternative Measures of Alternative Measures of MoneyMoney Since it is difficult to define money
unambiguously, economists have defined different measures of money.
They are called M1, M2 and M3, M1+, M2+ and M2++.

Alternative Measures of Alternative Measures of Money: M1Money: M1 M1 consists of currency in circulation
and chequing account balances at chartered banks.
Chequing account deposits are included in all definitions of money.

Alternative Measures of Alternative Measures of Money: M2Money: M2 M2 is made up of M1 plus personal
savings deposits, and non personal notice deposits (that can be withdrawn only after prior notice) held at chartered banks.
Time deposits are also called certificates of deposit (CDs), or term deposits.

play an important role in providing reserves and lending capacity for chartered banks.

economic research has shown that the M2 definition often most closely correlates with the price level and economic activity.

Beyond M2: “The Beyond M2: “The Pluses”Pluses” Numerous financial assets also have
some attributes of money. That is why they are included in some measures of money.
There are measures for M3, M1+, M2+ and beyond.

Beyond M2: “The Beyond M2: “The Pluses”Pluses” The broadest measure is M2++. It includes almost all assets that can be
turned into cash on short notice. Broader concepts of asset liquidity have
gained greater appeal than the measures of money, because money measures have been rapidly changing.

Beyond M2: “The Beyond M2: “The Pluses”Pluses” M1, M2 and M3 measures only include
deposits held at chartered banks. Measures containing a “+” also include
deposits at other financial institutions (near banks).

claims of over a million depositors, most due to the collapse of Central Guaranty Trust Company.
This put the CDIC in a difficult financial position, because the rates they had been charging for insurance were not enough to cover the losses.
