Explain what will happen to the money multiplier process if there is an increase in the reserve requirement? O A. An increase in the reserve requirement means that banks will be less likely to have your money when you demand it, but it would increase the money multiplier OB. An increase in the reserve requirement means that banks will be more likely to have your money when you demand it, increasing the money multiplier OC. Since a greater portion of each deposit is being lent out, the multiplier will increase. This means more loans lent and more economic growth. OD. Since a smaller portion of each deposit is being lent out, the multiplier will decrease. This means fewer loans lent and less economic growth.
