Global broad money supply (M2/M3) hit a record $150 trillion** in June 2026, marking a year-on-year increase of **$10.7 trillion, according to data from the Global Money Supply Monitor (GMSM).
This marks the ninth consecutive quarter of 7%+ annual growth, reflecting continued monetary expansion worldwide, despite central banks' efforts to tame inflation.
Over the long term, global money supply has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% between 2000 and 2026, driven by successive crises – particularly the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered massive liquidity injections.
The data covers 169 countries and territories, representing 99% of global GDP, highlighting the comprehensiveness of these figures.
Analysts warn that persistent money supply growth fuels currency devaluation risks, while providing a tailwind for hard assets like gold and cryptocurrencies, which serve as hedges against inflation and fiat depreciation.
