The volume of discount loans can be influenced by the Fed, but not completely controlled: The Fed cannot be sure how many banks will request discount loans at any given interest rate.

disadvantages of changes in reserve requirements
bắt đầu học
Large changes in reserves must be approved by Congress. Hence, large changes cannot be made quickly and easily. Also, if a bank holds only a small amount of excess reserves and the required reserve ratio is increased, the bank will have to quickly acquire reserves by borrowing, selling securities, or reducing its loans. Each of these three options is costly and disruptive. Hence, changes in reserve requirements can cause problems for banks by making liquidity management more difficult.
