Exercise 1.This exercise defines the most important kinds of bank. Complete the text using these words:

 

central banks commercial banks merchant banks universal banks finance house investment banks

 

(1) … supervise the banking system, fix the minimum interest rate; issue bank notes; control the money supply; influence exchange rates; and act as lender of last resort.

(2) … are businesses that trade in money. They receive and hold deposits in current ans saving accounts, pay money according to customers’ instructions, lend money, and offer investment advice, foreign exchange facilities, and so on. In some countries such as England these banks have branches in all major towns; in other countries there are smaller regional banks. Under Americal law, for example, banks can operate in only one state. Some countries have banks that were originally confined to a single industry, e.g. Credit Agricole in France, but these now usually have a far wider customer base.

In some European countries, notably Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, there are (3) … which combine deposit and loan banking with share and bond dealing, investment advice, etc. Yet even universal banks usually form a subsidiary, known as a (4) …, to lend money – at several per cent over the base lending rate – for hire purchase or instalment credit, that is, loans to consumers that are repaid in regular, equal monthly amounts.

In Britain, the USA and Japan, however, there is, or used to be, a strict separation between commercial banks and banks that do stockbroking or bond dealing. Thus in Britain, (5) … specialize in raising funds for industry on the various financial markets, financing international trade, issuing and underwriting securities, dealing with takeovers and mergers, issuing government bonds, and so on. They also offer stockbrocking and portfolio management services to rich corporate and individual clients. (6) … in the USA are similar but theuy can only act as intermediaries offering advisory services, and do bot offer loand themselves.

Exercise 3.Complete this paragraph using these words:

 

assets cash interest liquid maturity reserve

 

Because a commercial bank can lend most of money deposited with it to other borrowers, who in turn may lend it to another borrower, each sum of money deposited in a bank is multiplied several times. To ensure the safety of the banking system, central banks impose (1) … requirements, obliging commercial banks to deposit a certain amount of money with the central bank at zero (2) … . Central banks in different countries also impose different “prudential ratios” on commercial banks. These are ratios between deposits and liquid (3) … that are considered sufficient to meet demands for (4) … . For example, a bank’s capital ratio is between its capital and reserves on the one hand, and its total assets on the other. The reserve asset ration is between deposits with a (5) … of under two years, called “eligible liabilities”, and reserve assets, which include cash and assets that are (6) … - i.e. quickly convertible into cash – such as reserve deposits held by central bank, and securities such as treasury bills.
