Summary:
- Bank Loans:
- Bank Drafts:
1. Credit Assessment:
- Banks conduct a thorough credit assessment to evaluate the
borrower's creditworthiness. This involves reviewing the
borrower's credit history, repayment behavior, and credit score.
4. Collateral Evaluation:
- Secured loans require collateral. Banks assess the value and
quality of the proposed collateral to determine its adequacy and
suitability as security for the loan.
9. Regulatory Compliance:
- Banks ensure that the loan proposal complies with regulatory
requirements, including interest rate regulations, legal restrictions,
and any specific guidelines set by regulatory authorities.
4. Confirmation (Optional):
- In some cases, especially when dealing with unfamiliar
overseas banks, the issuing bank may request a confirming bank
to add its confirmation to the LC. This provides an additional layer
of payment security for the seller.
7. Document Presentation:
- The seller presents the compliant documents to the advising
bank, which checks whether they meet the terms outlined in the
LC. If the documents conform to the LC, the advising bank
forwards them to the issuing bank.
2. Backed by Assets:
- Notes issued by the central bank are often backed by tangible
assets such as gold, foreign exchange reserves, or government
securities. This backing instills confidence in the value of the
currency.
3. Legal Tender:
- Central bank notes are designated as legal tender, meaning
they must be accepted for transactions within the country. This
legal status enhances the widespread use and acceptance of the
currency.
4. Convertibility:
- In some cases, central bank notes were historically directly
convertible into a specific quantity of a commodity like gold.
While direct convertibility is less common today, the stability of
the currency is maintained through other means.
5. Controlled Circulation:
- Central banks manage the circulation of currency to prevent
overissuance or shortages. This involves monitoring economic
conditions, adjusting interest rates, and implementing open
market operations.
3. Reserve Requirements:
- Description: Central banks set the minimum reserve that
commercial banks must hold in proportion to their deposits.
- Effect: Increasing reserve requirements reduces the funds
available for lending, curbing credit expansion. Decreasing
requirements has the opposite effect, encouraging lending.
7. Credit Rationing:
- Description: Central banks may limit the amount of credit
banks can extend to borrowers or specific sectors.
- Effect: Credit rationing helps control excessive borrowing in
certain areas, preventing potential economic imbalances.
8. Margin Requirements:
- Description: Central banks may set minimum margin
requirements for loans, especially in financial markets.
- Effect: Increasing margin requirements reduces leverage,
reducing the risk of speculative bubbles in financial markets.
