Which of the following is NOT included in the measure of the volume of money supply held by the public in the economy:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In standard monetary accounting, the money supply (such as M1) is defined as currency held by the public plus net demand deposits held by the public: - Cash holdings of commercial banks (vault cash, ) are excluded from the measure of currency with the public because money supply only counts liquid money balances held by the non-bank public. - Household cash-holdings are directly part of currency with the public, while commercial banks' deposits with the Central Bank and the cash-reserve ratio govern central bank reserve requirements and credit creation. Therefore, ('Bank’s cash Holdings') is the correct answer.
