For example, Person A deposits $100 in Bank A. The bank retains 10% as the minimum reserve requirement, so $90 is loaned out to Borrower B. Borrower B uses the $90 to purchase something from Seller B, who then deposits the $90 into Bank B. Bank B also keeps 10% as the reserve requirement, loaning out $81 to Borrower C. Borrower C uses the $81 to buy something from Seller C, who deposits it into Bank C. Bank C retains 10% and loans out $72.90 to Borrower D. This process continues, with each subsequent deposit and loan being reduced by 10%, until the initial $100 deposit has effectively multiplied into a much larger sum circulating through the banking system.Can elaborate?

Or another example, a condo construction company takes a loan of $200 million from a bank. The bank generates this sum and records it as the bank's debt. When the company pays back its monthly installment, the principal amount decreases on the loan. Over time, as the loan is repaid in full, the bank clears the debt from its books.
