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.
Growth of 10% means money in the economy rose by a tenth in a year.
Fast money growth reflects strong credit creation and liquidity.
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.
