Explanation:

High powered money (HPM): This refers to the base money supplied by the central bank in the form of currency (notes and coins) held by the public and commercial banks. (Not Cash Reserve Ratio).

Central Bank: The apex monetary institution of a country responsible for monetary policy, issuing currency, regulating banks, and managing foreign exchange reserves.

Money multiplier: This concept explains how commercial banks can create credit and expand the money supply based on the reserves they hold. It is inversely related to the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR).

Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR): The percentage of deposits that banks must hold as reserves with the central bank. It is a monetary policy tool used by the central bank to control the money supply in the economy. The CRR is fixed by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India).
