Abstract

This paper develops and discusses several ratios designed to assess financial intermediation overall, as well as the two steps necessary for financial intermediation: attracting funds and lending them. We find that the money multiplier is, in typical cases, positively related to all of these ratios, suggesting that it also can be interpreted as a measure of how well a financial sector is performing in its role as intermediary between savers and borrowers.
