In a fractional reserve banking system with no excess reserves and no currency holdings, suppose the central bank buys $100 million of bonds. How are the open market operations affected? Apparently, the reserves increase by $100 million and the money supply increases by more than $100 million. Could someone please explain this to me? Thank you.
