Hello, I am a student studying Finance.
When reading a book, I came across a sentence saying "Events in the financial system could cause an increase in spending by causing an increase in the money supply. This will happen if there is an expansion of banks and their deposit."
What I don't understand is that
How is it possible that an expansion of deposits can cause an increase in money supply ,then,an increase in spending.
because
if there is an increase in the level of deposit, which means people saving more than before.
There must be fall in money supply, what is more, With people having less money in their hands because of saving, the level of spending must be lower than before.
So, would you please let me understand how an expansion of deposit causes an increase in the money supply and ultimately an increase in the level of spending?
Thank you for reading.
