This market dependency may further involve a tension in the financial-real nexus of bank activity. Where does the bank profit come from? The leverage that enables bank money creation may be used to fund either trading or investment in business and non-business activities. When used for trading purpose, it may be indirectly connected to investment funding, or merely generate traded asset price inflation. In the last case, bank profit and loss are generated through a purely monetary loop which does not finance investment in real activities. A difference of nature may then exist between bank profit coming from capital gains and revaluations, or from the flow of interest charge payments from borrowers. In the former, the bank may book a profit without engaging with some ongoing real economy activity, taking the shortcut from bank money generation to bank profit distribution (paper profit hypothesis). 781b155fdc
