when banks buy assets from other banks - new deposits do not get created, as the payment happens by moving funds between the commercial bank's reserve accounts at the central bank
thus, it's base money movements/reallocation, not creation
let's say the bank bought a T-bill from you for $1000. for this, they "created $1000" and deposited them into your account. bank’s balance sheet:
➖ Assets: +$1000 (the T-bill)
➖ Liabilities: +$1000 (the deposit/payment to you)
the key here is that you are a NON-bank
