Understanding Broad Money Growth — a simple guide

What it measures

The annual growth rate of broad money (currency plus deposits, roughly M2/M3).

How it is calculated

Yearly % change in broad money — cash plus bank deposits.

Simple example

Growth of 10% means money in the economy rose by a tenth in a year.

▲ When it is high or rising

Fast money growth reflects strong credit creation and liquidity.

▼ When it is low or falling

Slow money growth points to tighter liquidity.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Money growth reflects credit creation and liquidity conditions in the economy.

How to read it

Very fast money growth relative to GDP can precede inflation, but the link is loose in modern economies.
