Теоретические аспекты механизма взаимодействия денег и кредита

Abstract

The paper describes the central bank monetary policy that has been heavily criticized, largely due to the banks’ inability to identify emerging risks in a timely manner and to prevent threats to the stability of the entire global financial and banking system. A more rigorous expert-theoretical and public assessment is typical for analyzing the role of commercial banks in these processes, whereby they are recognized as the main culprits of recurrent crises. The excursion into the evolution of theoretical views on the problem under study allows to conclude that it is related to the credit nature of money, in which the activities of commercial banks are of great importance. This idea was shared by many foreign and Russian scientists, who at one time offered their recipes for improving the monetary mechanism, but remained not taken into account in practice. The initial positions of bank lending processes and money making on their basis in volumes and quality, often unregulated, have been analyzed. Much attention is paid to the role of the Central Bank, the bank customers and the state in shaping the credit nature of money. As an alternative to modern methods of monetary regulation, the idea of full-value money has been described. As an example, the phenomenon of the Swiss full-value money initiative in 2018 has been given. It is noted that the initiative demanded to ban issuing electronic (non-cash) money from the commercial banks in order to stabilize the financial system. The weak points of the reform include a threat to the stability of the money value, the low degree of independence of the National Bank of Switzerland. It has been inferred that the events taking place in the modern financial system may indicate significant transformations of the design and toolkit of the modern monetary policy
