What is broad money?
Broad money is a key indicator to measure the money supply, but many investors still don't understand what broad money is. What is broad money? The international division of money supply is divided into five levels: M0, M 1, M2, M3 and M4, in which M0 refers to cash in circulation, M 1 refers to narrow money, and M2, M3 and M4 are all broad money. The narrow money M 1=M0+ corporate demand deposits, and the broad money M2=M 1+ savings deposits of urban and rural residents+corporate time deposits+trust deposits+other deposits. The funds of the whole society are usually measured by the broad money M2, so the broad money M2 is also called "the total amount of social money", which includes cash and various deposits in circulation and reflects the total purchasing power of the whole society.

What does M2 growth of broad money mean? The broad money M2 is relative to the narrow money M 1. M 1 reflects the actual purchasing power and is used to measure the buying and selling activities of final commodities. If M 1 grows rapidly, it means that the market is active. M2 mainly measures the trading activities of investment market and capital market. If M2 grows rapidly, it means that investment and intermediate market are active. Generally speaking, money supply is directly proportional to GDP growth and CPI index rise. Whether the growth rate of M 1 and M2 is too fast or too slow, it is not good for the market economy. Excessive growth of M 1 indicates that insufficient investment may lead to inflation, while excessive growth of M2 indicates that investment is overheated, demand is weak and asset prices may rise. Broad money is the symmetry of "narrow money". The sum of narrow money plus time deposits of commercial banks. Because all kinds of time deposits can be withdrawn in advance and converted into real purchasing power, counting them as money can reflect the circulation of money more comprehensively and facilitate the analysis and control of market financial activities.
