If these was only two sectors the income of the households would exactly equal their expenditure and the monetary would be a closed system.
As we add in the other sectors we get the possibility of injections in the model as well as leakages out of the model.
Injections into the system flow around generating further demand and incomes.
The lower the leakages the more injection will flow around the system and the higher the multiplier effect.
An important difference between leakages and injections is their respective relationship with National Income.
