money supply
total methods of payment that are at an economy's disposal
Money supply
In
macroeconomics, money supply ("monetary aggregates", "money stock") is the quantity of currency and money in bank accounts in the hands of the non-bank public available within the economy to purchase
goods,
services, and
securities. The rate of interest is the price of money over time, that is, the price paid for deferring payment of monetary debts. The two are related inversely: as money supply increases interest rates will fall. When the interest rate equates the quantity of money demanded with the quantity of money supply, the economy is working at the money market equilibrium.
