The Central Bank of Sasquatch is charged with regulating the money supply by using open market operations. In September​ 2015, the money supply was estimated to be 70 million yetis. At the same​ time, bank reserves were 8.4 million yetis and the reserve requirement was 12 percent. The banking​ industry, being​ "loaned up," lobbied the Congress to cut the reserve ratio.
