This is one of a set of Powerpoints (and accompanying Notes/Key Terms sheets) that I have created for my own teaching of the macroeconomic topics in the new (linear) AQA A-level Economics specification (7135). They follow the order of teaching recommended by the exam board and (generally) the AQA-approved textbooks (Powell & Powell, 2015).
Key terms covered in this Powerpoint: (references to the specification):
4.2.4.2 Commercial banks and investment banks
• The structure of a commercial bank’s balance sheet.
• The objectives of a commercial bank, ie liquidity, profitability and security.
• Potential conflicts between these objectives.
• How banks create credit. NB: Students will not be required to calculate the credit multiplier.
• Students should be aware of the differences between a commercial bank and an investment bank but they do not need a detailed knowledge of the activities and functions of an investment bank. They should also be aware that many banks are engaged in both investment banking and commercial banking activities and that this may increase systemic risk.
• Students should be aware that there are other institutions that operate in financial markets but they do not need to know about their activities or their functions.
