What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is MVR 48.85 billion for Aug 2026, up 1.5% from Jul 2026 and up 21.8% on the same month a year earlier.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged +23.1% over the last three months, against +21.4% in the three months before: the year-on-year pace has picked up.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is 11.9% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.94, a close fit, so the series has followed a steady path).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is 13.8% a year over five years and 10.4% a year over ten.
  • The latest figure is the highest on record.
  • Year-on-year growth has typically varied by about 12.1 percentage points (one standard deviation) over the past five years.

How to read this series

Money supply. Narrow money is currency in circulation plus deposits that can be spent on demand; adding savings, time and foreign-currency deposits gives broad money. The dollarization ratio is the share held in foreign currency. The monetary base is the central bank’s own money: currency plus the reserves banks hold with it.

  • Shown in current prices (nominal). Part of any long-run rise reflects inflation rather than a larger real amount.
  • A stock: it is the amount outstanding at the end of each month, not activity during it, so periods are never added together.
  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
