The money supply measure reported below is M2, also known as "broad money". It includes the currency in circulation as well as demand and time deposits. The supply of money is somewhat of an interest in macroeconomic analysis as it relates to the policies of the central bank but we advise caution in drawing false conclusions.
For example, the supply of money also depends on the money multiplier, i.e. on how actively banks initiate credit. The more active they are and the greater the demand for loans, the greater the expansion of money supply for a given central bank policy with respect to bank reserves. Also, while over long periods of time, rapid growth in money supply leads to inflation, the short term effect on prices is not very strong.
The table shows the level of money supply, in billion local currency units, using the latest available data from the national authorities. It also shows the percent change in M2 from three months ago and one year ago.
Definition: The money supply is the total amount of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in the economy. The indicator represents the broad money that include currency outside banks; demand, time, saving, and foreign currency deposits of resident sectors other than the central government; bank and traveler's checks; and other securities such as certificates of deposit and commercial paper.
