Key Concepts

M2 includes all the components of M1, but also adds other assets that are slightly less liquid. This category encompasses savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, money market deposit accounts, and other near-money forms that, while not as liquid as cash, can be relatively quickly converted into cash or checking deposits.

Money Supply Aggregates

This concept refers to the overall grouping of monetary assets in an economy categorized by their liquidity. Money supply aggregates help economists and policymakers understand how much money is available for transactions and savings and are typically divided into different measures such as M1 and M2.

M1 consists of the most liquid forms of money that can be used immediately for transactions. This aggregate generally includes physical currency (notes and coins) in circulation, demand deposits like checking accounts, traveler's checks, and other forms of money that are readily available for immediate spending.
