No , I am not against the central bank imposing reserve requirements for banks . central bank is a regulatory body for banks and financial institutions. central bank make a rule for banks that reserve a percentage of total fund of bank with central bank that called statutory liquidity ratio. banks can not use this fund without permission of central bank.
Central bank has power to manage money in the market and regulate the banks and financial institutions, to make consistent and balance flow/ supply of money in the country's market.
A bank's reserve requirement are the amount of funds that a bank holds in reserve to ensure that it is able to meet liabilities in case of sudden withdrawals.
there are several purposes for which central bank make this rule -
therefore we can say that there are many purposes by considering these points we can say that we are in the favour of reserve requirements on banks imposing by central bank.
