The U.S. Federal Reserve no longer uses interest payments on reserves to control the money supply.
This method is still in use.
People would be less likely to invest their savings in bank alternatives if the reserve ratio is 100 percent.
They would be more willing to invest in those activities that banks used to invest in prior to the 100 percent ratio.
A liquid asset can't be used for payments or can quickly and without loss of value be made usable for
payments.

Quantitative easing occurs when the Fed sells longer-term government bonds or other securities.
This is the definition of quantitative tightening
If banks kept a 100 percent reserve ratio, the money multiplier would equal 10.
The money multiplier equals deposits divided by reserves, but at a 100 percent reserve ratio, they are equal, so the ratio equals
1.

The money multiplier is the reciprocal of the reserve ratio. Under the assumption that banks do not hold excess reserves, the reserve ratio will be equal to the reserve requirement set by the Federal Reserve. For a reserve requirement of 15%, the reserve ratio is 1/6.67, and the multiplier is, therefore, 6.67. When the multiplier is 6.67, a banking system with $100 in reserves can support in demand deposits.
If
the reserve requirement falls from 15% to 10%, the reserve ratio falls from 1/6.67 to 1/10, and the multiplier rises from 6.67 to 10. At the lower reserve requirement, the banking system's $100 in reserves supports in demand deposits.
For a given level of reserves, a higher reserve requirement is associated with a smaller money supply. At the higher reserve requirement, banks must hold a larger fraction of their deposits as reserves. This keeps more reserves away from the money creation
process (it keeps new loans from being made, which would lead to more deposits, which would lead to more loans, and so on). Therefore, the higher the reserve requirement, the fewer demand deposits are generated in the money creation process from a given change in reserves
The velocity of money is relatively stable over time.
Because velocity is stable, when the central bank changes the quantity of money , it causes proportionate changes in the nominal
value of output .
The economy's output of goods and services is primarily determined by factor supplies (labor, physical capital, human capital, and natural resources) and the available production technology. In particular, because money is neutral, money does not affect output.
With output determined by factor supplies and technology, when the central bank alters the money supply and induces proportional changes in the nominal value of output , these changes are reflected in changes in
the price level .
Therefore, when the central bank increases the money supply rapidly, the result is a high rate of inflation.
