An example of fractional-reserve banking, and the calculation of the "reserve ratio" is shown in the balance sheet below:
Example 2: ANZ National Bank Limited Balance Sheet as at 30 September 2007 | |||
---|---|---|---|
ASSETS | NZ$m | LIABILITIES | NZ$m |
Cash | 201 | Demand Deposits | 25482 |
Balance with Central Bank | 2809 | Term Deposits and other borrowings | 35231 |
Other Liquid Assets | 1797 | Due to Other Financial Institutions | 3170 |
Due from other Financial Institutions | 3563 | Derivative financial instruments | 4924 |
Trading Securities | 1887 | Payables and other liabilities | 1351 |
Derivative financial instruments | 4771 | Provisions | 165 |
Available for sale assets | 48 | Bonds and Notes | 14607 |
Net loans and advances | 87878 | Related Party Funding | 2775 |
Shares in controlled entities | 206 | Loan Capital | 2062 |
Current Tax Assets | 112 | Total Liabilities | 99084 |
Other assets | 1045 | Share Capital | 5943 |
Deferred Tax Assets | 11 | Reserves | 83 |
Premises and Equipment | 232 | Retained profits | 2667 |
Goodwill and other intangibles | 3297 | Total Equity | 8703 |
Total Assets | 107787 | Total Liabilities plus Net Worth | 107787 |
In this example the cash reserves held by the bank is NZ$3010m (NZ$201m Cash + NZ$2809m Balance at Central Bank) and the Demand Deposits (liabilities) of the bank are NZ$25482m, for a cash reserve ratio of 11.81%.

“on a May morwening upon Malverne hilles
Me befel a ferly, of fairye me thoughte;
I was wery ofwandred and wente me to reste
Under a brod bank by a bournes side;
And as I lay and lenede and lookede on the watres,
I slomerede into a sleeping, it swyede so merye.”
—William Langland (13301400)

“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (19191987)
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nations agenda.
