The latest data from Kuwait reveals a slight increase in the M2 money supply for December 2024. According to the newly released figures updated on January 27, 2025, Kuwait's M2 money supply index now stands at 4.26%, showing a minor yet noticeable climb from the previous month's indicator of 4.24% in November 2024.
This marginal rise comes into context as the figures are compared on a year-over-year basis, where the change observed in December 2024 is evaluated against the same period in December of the previous year. The November indicator had also been assessed using a similar comparative approach against the same month last year.
The slight increase could suggest stabilizing financial conditions within Kuwait, reflecting perhaps minor adjustments in either currency in circulation or overnight deposits. M2, being a critical measure of money supply, serves as a substantial indicator for economic health, impacting both inflation and economic growth forecasts. Economists and investors alike will be watching closely for further trends in the forthcoming months to better interpret the economic landscape in Kuwait.
