The key objective of central banks was to make the short-term interest rate that they set effective initially for the purpose of defending their gold reserves and hence the fixed exchange rate but subsequently for a variety of other domestic objectives.

If the central bank decides to set the interest rate price at which reserves are to be made available then the volume of such reserves becomes an endogenous choice variable of the private sector in genera 1 and of the banking system m particular. As Vicky notes the causal chain becomes as follows 1 The central bank determines the short-term interest rate in the light of whatever reaction function it is following perhaps under instructions from the government. 2 At such rates the private sector determines the volume of borrowing from the banking system that it wants. 3 Banks then adjust their own relative interest rates marketable assets and interbank and wholesale borrowing to meet the credit demands on them. 4 Step 3 above determines both the money stock and its various sub-components . demand time and wholesale deposits. Given the required reserve ratios which may be zero this determines the volume of bank reserves required. 5 Step 4 then determines how much the banks need to borrow from or pay back to the central bank in order to meet their demand for .
