Composition of money supply

The broad monetary aggregate M2 amounted to NOK 1 567 billion at end-September, of which the major part, 91.3 per cent, consisted of bank deposits. In comparison, notes and coins only accounted for 2.9 per cent. The rest of the broad money mainly consisted of shares in money market funds and certificates of deposits, which accounted for 5.4 and 0.4 per cent respectively.

The money supply (broad monetary aggregate) M2 consists of notes and coins, unrestricted bank deposits, certificates of deposit and units in money market funds owned by the money-holding sector, i.e. households, non-financial enterprises, municipalities and financial enterprises other than state lending institutions, banks and money market funds.

Growth based on the three-month moving average is defined as growth in average money supply (seasonally-adjusted figures) in the latest three-month period in relation to the previous three-month period. The growth is adjusted for exchange rate valuation changes and statistical breaks as an annualised figure. The calculation is centred; in other words, the observation is set at the middle month of the latest three-month period.
