I’ve goggled bank repos but am not finding a clear explanation of their reason
Or action and timing. I had thought they were to bring reserve requirements of banks
Back to requirements after a loan exceeded them.
I think I do have down that the dealer banks are the intermediaries between the Treasury and banks but
That’s all.
Joe?

Thank you very much. I suspect you have not red the Zoltan paper and recommend that you do. Ex: (reference to 1st line of your para below) Zoltan says the “money” of dealers is repos, which can be converted to the money of bank deposits but are not settlement funds until conversion.
With the exception of the Fed, the money of each layer is the liabilities of the layer above it.
Central bank exception (creates base money)
Banks money is reserves
Peoples money is deposits
Dealers money is repos
Money funds money is NAVs.
The paper seems to be an explicit map of shadow banking structure, if not names of characters. But assumes you know what a repo is.
Again John has referred to the insulation of reserves from the public and I saw the fact that reserves can be cashed out by the public. The
Paper resolves that seeming conflict. Reserves are the “money” of bank interaction only but they can be “converted” to cash by the public.
I assume “re-hypothecation” means using the same collateral to back several different loans. Sounds clearly illegal, fraud.
If so, the phrase should not be used. It’s an attempt to hide the bald crime involved.
Thanks again for your efforts. I’ll be looking at this for some time.
James

Video link goes to a pdf.
If anyone drills down through the links below I suggest starting with the educational video and Lehman Brothers accounting example before reading the paper by Norman Bowsher.
