Money Supply

How is this data produced?

Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is the sole issuer of currency in Malaysia and is mandated to ensure monetary stability pursuant to the Central Bank Act (2009). Accordingly, BNM is able to track the money supply at any given point in time. That data is summarised in this dataset at monthly frequency.

The following conceptual definitions of monetary aggregates are used:

  • M1 = Currency in Circulation + Demand Deposits
  • M2 = M1 + Narrow Quasi-Money (Savings Deposits + Fixed Deposits + NIDs + Repos + Foreign Currency Deposits)
  • M3 = M2 + Deposits Placed with Other Banking Institutions, i.e. deposits and interest bearing instruments (including SPI deposits and instruments) placed by the non-bank private sector with investment banks (excluding inter-placements among banking institutions).

What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?

This dataset begin in January 2013 because the compilation of money supply data utilised a new taxonomy from January 2014, resulting in a break with the historical series.
