Their vital function is to enable the Federal Reserve authorities to control the amount of demand deposits-or bank money-that the member banks can create. By imposing fixed legal reserve requirements, the Fed can limit the growth of bank deposits. 1, record 8, English, - legal%20reserve%20requirement
