Mongolia: Broad money (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Mongolia's broad money (% of GDP) rose 0.24 percentage points on 2023 (from 53.41% to 53.65%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +1.15 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 5.46 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 10.31 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 20.62 percentage points in 1992. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 13% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Broad money is the sum of all liquid financial instruments held by money-holding sectors that are widely accepted in an economy as a medium of exchange, plus those that can be converted into a medium of exchange at short notice at, or close to, their full nominal value. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
