(GWP).
The minimum ratio of vault cash and balances ("[[reserves]]") with the [[central bank]] to deposits taken by the bank that the central bank requires commercial banks to hold.  


GWP is a relative measure of the amount by which a greenhouse gas emission would warm the earth.
An increase in minimum reserve requirements will be likely to lower the supply of money in the economy as banks undertake less lending, and vice versa.
 
The reference is carbon dioxide, CO<sub>2</sub>.
 
By definition, the GWP of carbon dioxide is 1.
 
 
Using this measure, the GWPs of other greenhouse gases are quantified on this scale.

Banking.

The minimum ratio of vault cash and balances ("reserves") with the central bank to deposits taken by the bank that the central bank requires commercial banks to hold.

An increase in minimum reserve requirements will be likely to lower the supply of money in the economy as banks undertake less lending, and vice versa.
