We have all discussed the issue of FRL and central banks. However, FRL and central bank business is not universal. Some countries have reserve requirements of 20%, 10% and sometimes even as high as 60%. The lower the FRL the bigger the problem and more involvement needed from the central bank.
Who has information regarding this matter of international banking??? I consider it to be extremely important to study the true nature of FRL and why some currencies tend to be more stable than others.
My suggestion would be to check for data/info at both the World Bank website, and the International Monetary Fund [IMF] website-see what they have.
At least those might give you a start.
There may well be other resources out there- seek and ye shall find!

Thats my point. To know if someone here has studied and knows about different international fractional reserve lending practices and its impact on world currencies.
Canada abolished the reserve requirement in 1996.
What??? 0% requirement or 100%???
0%
Reserve requirements are often zero. A more commonly used device these days is the capital adequacy ratio.
The simple model of FRB that you see in textbooks does not exist in the real world as far as I can tell.
And is today one of the countries with the highest level of consumer debt.
