    Welcome back to Money Talks: The Realities of Monetary Economics. I’m your host, Charlotte Sinclair, and today we’re diving into a topic that’s as important as it is underappreciated—interest on reserves. This might not be something you’ve heard much about in the headlines or over dinner conversations, but trust me when I say it’s a fundamental part of how the modern banking system operates. It’s also one of the most effective tools central banks have for managing the economy, particularly when it comes to controlling liquidity and influencing interest rates.
