In economics, the '''multiplier effect''' refers to the fact that an increase of an economic aggregate may lead to an increase of this aggregate or another greater than the initial raise. See [[Spending multiplier]].
The '''multiplier effect''' is the tendency for an increase in [[public expenditure]] to result in an increase in [[gross domestic product]] that exceeds the expenditure increase by a factor termed "the multiplier".
 
The multiplier effect is also known by bankers. An initial mortgage creates a deposit on a client account. This deposit can be partially lent to another client and so on.
