  7. Mike question here about MMT, I've heard money gets destroyed when loans are payed is that true? And if it's true why do they destroy it?

  8. But the bank reserves are not part of the tier 1 capital?, so that should help with the leverage ratio not restrain banks to do the loans? That 5% as per basel

    • Yes bank reserves are not part of tier 1 capital, they are assets, and the banks can only have so many assets before they need to raise more capital to conform to regulations, so the banks will slow lending if it gets close to the limit. Remember that banks do not own the bank reserves, they are just borrowing them from depositers, that's why bank reserves are assets and not capital. Capital is what the bank owns outright.

    • @Alex Butler Thank you Alex, I got it now

  9. Do you think China can be the new Lehman Mike? How might that effect everything over here? Also, the banks are buying their stocks back at record amounts which is keeping the stock market lifted …from what I'm seeing
