how has the money supply for china grown lately

China's money supply has shown moderate growth recently:

- **M1 Money Supply**: M1, which includes cash and corporate demand deposits, narrowed its year-on-year contraction to -6.1% in October 2024, marking the first improvement in nine months. Previously, it had been declining since April 2024[1].

- **M2 Money Supply**: M2, a broader measure including M1 plus savings and time deposits, grew 7.3% year-on-year in December 2024, slightly up from 7.1% in November. By January 2025, the growth rate slowed to 7% but remained significant, with the total reaching a record high of 318.46 trillion yuan[2][3][4].

This indicates gradual recovery in China's monetary environment following earlier slowdowns.

Thanks CCP propaganda bot I can read a chart thanks

apparently you cant

Why are your sources pulling up data from October 2024? Ytd it’s at 61%+

read the whole thing, sources are listed. m2 is current as of January. not picking a fight, but the chart you showed is a little dramatic. also, the commenter who said they are increasing money supply to undercut dollar doesnt understand how an offshore pegged currency works.

M1s drastic increase overnight will have inflationary repercussions, that’s what this post is all about, hence my initial shock. I haven’t mentioned M2 but I’ll read into your sources. The way I understand, there’s more circulating money chasing a finite amount of goods, no?

no problem friend, but everyone should realize that china has two currencies, an internal and an offshore. so the analysis is more complex. how they account for their money supply is problematic. i will continue to research. have a good day.

Appreciate you sharing your research! Sorry for coming in hot, I honestly didn’t think you were a real person at first

lol. yea, maybe i need to change my name. have a good one.
