Key Concepts

M1 Money Supply

M1 is a monetary aggregate that focuses on the most liquid forms of money used for payment. It typically includes physical currency in circulation and checkable deposits because these assets can be quickly and easily used to make transactions. This measure is important for understanding the immediate spending potential in an economy.

M2 Money Supply

M2 expands on M1 by including assets that are slightly less liquid but can still be converted into cash relatively quickly. In addition to the components of M1, M2 typically encompasses savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, and money market mutual fund deposits. This broader measure helps economists and policymakers evaluate the overall money available in the economy for spending and investment.
