Value of M3 money supply in the UK 2000-2022
The M3 money supply in the United Kingdom increased rapidly between 2000 and 2022, with a particularly sharp increase in 2020 as a result of the quantitative easing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rising tendency continued between 2021 and 2022, and by December 2022, the M3 money supply in the UK exceeded 3.5 trillion British pounds. M3, called the "broad money", is the sum of M1 (currency in circulation and overnight deposits), M2 (M1 plus deposits with maturity of maximum two years and deposits redeemable at notice of maximum three months) and marketable instruments issued by Monetary Financial Institutions such as repurchase instruments or money market fund units
