Required reserves against peso deposits.
Section 101
SEC. 101. Required reserves against peso deposits.—The Monetary Board is authorized to prescribe and modify the minimum reserve ratios applicable to each class of peso deposits: Provided, however, That such ratios shall not be less than live per cent (5%) or more than twenty-live per cent (25%) for time and savings deposits, and shall not be less than ten per cent (10%) or more than fifty per cent (50%) for demand deposits. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph of this section, the Monetary Board may, in periods of inflation, prescribe higher reserve ratios, but not exceeding 100 per cent, for any future increase in the deposits of each bank above the amounts outstanding on the date on which the bank is notified of the requirement. Whenever the reserve requirements established by the Monetary Board place any bank under obligation to maintain minimum reserves in excess of twenty-five per cent (25%) of its total time or savings deposits, or in excess of fifty per cent (50%) of its total demand deposits, the Central Bank may pay interest on said excess at a rate which shall not be higher than the Bank's lowest rediscount rate.
