Solution

Margin requirement refers to the difference between the current value of the security offered for loan (called collateral) and the value of loan granted. It is a qualitative method of credit control adopted by the central bank in order to stabilize the economy from inflation or deflation. During inflation, the margin requirement is increased to decrease the demand for loan and during deflation, the margin requirement is decreased to increase the demand for loan in the economy.
