This paper investigates the long-run and short-run relationship between money supply and inflation in Pakistan, utilizing annual data spanning from 1981 to 2021. The key objective is to assess the impact of monetary policy, specifically money supply, on inflation dynamics in the country. To achieve this, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach is employed, which is suitable for analyzing cointegration among variables with mixed integration orders. The results reveal both short and long-run cointegration between inflation, money supply, unemployment, and interest rates. Notably, unemployment demonstrates a negative correlation with inflation, while money supply and interest rates exhibit a positive relationship. These findings underscore the importance of dedicated policy measures to manage inflation effectively. The paper concludes by recommending the establishment of a policy implementation body and collaboration between the government and the central bank to ensure financial stability and control inflation through well-calibrated monetary and fiscal policies.

A central bank is the term used to describe the authority responsible for policies that affect a country’s supply of money and credit. More specifically, a central bank uses its tools of monetary policy—open market operations, discount window lending, changes in reserve requirements—to affect short-term interest rates and the monetary base (currency held by the public plus bank reserves) and to achieve important policy goals.

The U.S. federal funds rate peaked in 2023 at its highest level since the 2007-08 financial crisis, reaching 5.33 percent by December 2023. A significant shift in monetary policy occurred in the second half of 2024, with the Federal Reserve implementing regular rate cuts. By December 2024, the rate had declined to 4.48 percent. What is a central bank rate? The federal funds rate determines the cost of overnight borrowing between banks, allowing them to maintain necessary cash reserves and ensure financial system liquidity. When this rate rises, banks become more inclined to hold rather than lend money, reducing the money supply. While this decreased lending slows economic activity, it helps control inflation by limiting the circulation of money in the economy. Historic perspective The federal funds rate historically follows cyclical patterns, falling during recessions and gradually rising during economic recoveries. Some central banks, notably the European Central Bank, went beyond traditional monetary policy by implementing both aggressive asset purchases and negative interest rates.

Term Repurchase Agreements Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global term repurchase agreements market size reached USD 17.8 trillion in 2024, with a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% from 2025 to 2033. The market is projected to expand significantly, attaining a value of USD 35.2 trillion by 2033. This impressive growth is primarily driven by the increasing demand for short-term liquidity solutions among financial institutions and the rising use of term repos as an effective monetary policy tool by central banks worldwide. As per our latest research, the market’s expansion is further fueled by evolving regulatory frameworks and the proliferation of digital trading platforms, which enhance transparency and efficiency in repo transactions.

One of the major growth factors for the term repurchase agreements market is the heightened need for liquidity management across global banking and financial systems. In the aftermath of recent economic disruptions and ongoing volatility in capital markets, financial institutions are increasingly turning to term repos to manage their balance sheets efficiently. The flexibility of term repurchase agreements allows institutions to obtain short- to medium-term funding without the need to liquidate assets, thereby minimizing market impact and supporting overall financial stability. Additionally, the growing complexity of banking regulations, such as Basel III and other liquidity coverage requirements, has compelled banks to adopt more sophisticated liquidity management tools, further propelling the adoption of term repos.

Another significant driver is the rapid digital transformation within the financial sector, which has revolutionized the execution and settlement of repurchase agreements. The integration of advanced technologies, such as blockchain and automated trading platforms, has streamlined repo transactions, reduced operational risks, and improved transparency. This technological evolution has attracted new participants to the market, including non-traditional financial entities and fintech companies, thereby expanding the market’s reach. Furthermore, the advent of electronic trading platforms has facilitated cross-border repo transactions, enabling greater participation from international investors and contributing to market growth.

The increasing involvement of central banks in the term repurchase agreements market is also a key growth catalyst. Central banks in major economies, such as the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and the People’s Bank of China, have frequently used term repos as a tool for open market operations to regulate money supply and stabilize interest rates. This active engagement not only supports liquidity in the banking system but also instills confidence among market participants. Moreover, the growing issuance of government securities and high-quality collateral has provided a robust foundation for the repo market, enhancing its attractiveness as a low-risk investment vehicle.

From a regional perspective, North America continues to dominate the global term repurchase agreements market, accounting for the largest share due to its highly developed financial infrastructure and the presence of major institutional investors. Europe follows closely, supported by stringent regulatory standards and active participation by central banks. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth, driven by the rapid expansion of financial markets in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa, although still emerging, are showing increasing adoption of term repos as financial markets mature and regulatory frameworks evolve. This regional diversification is expected to further enhance the market’s resilience and growth potential in the coming years.

This dataset supports the research exploring the impact of monetary policy instruments on the Colombian economy, focusing on the classical dichotomy and monetary neutrality. The analysis delves into how monetary policy, including instruments such as interest rates and money supply, influences both nominal and real variables in the economy. It also highlights the relationship between monetary policy and economic stability, particularly how central banks manage inflation and economic growth. Key sections explore the separation between nominal and real variables as explained by the classical dichotomy, and the principle of monetary neutrality, which argues that changes in money supply affect nominal variables without impacting real economic factors.

The dataset is structured around a combination of theoretical insights and simulations that analyze the effectiveness of monetary neutrality in the Colombian context, given both domestic and international economic challenges such as the war in Ukraine and agricultural sector disruptions. Through simulations, the dataset demonstrates the effects of monetary expansion on variables like inflation, production, and employment, providing a framework for understanding current economic trends and proposing solutions to socio-economic challenges in Colombia.

The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) influences market interest rates by changing the administered rates that it controls, such as the interest rates on overnight repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements. This requires an ample level of bank reserves. Quantitative tightening (QT) reduces the level of reserves. To guard against supply and demand shocks that drive reserves too low, the FOMC may need to hold a buffer above the point at which reserves become scarce. In this Economic Commentary , I present evidence based on inventory theory that the estimated buffer might be relatively small, though the true number is uncertain. Treating the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet as inventory helps to estimate the level of reserves needed to stay above the scarce threshold.

Wholesale Banking Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global wholesale banking market size in 2024 is valued at USD 7.83 trillion, reflecting the robust scale and influence of this sector in the global financial landscape. The market is experiencing a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2025 to 2033, driven by digital transformation, evolving client demands, and increased cross-border trade. By 2033, the wholesale banking market is forecasted to reach USD 13.45 trillion, underscoring its critical role in supporting large-scale financial transactions and economic development worldwide. This growth is attributed to the rising adoption of advanced financial technologies and increasing globalization of financial services as per our latest research.

The wholesale banking market is witnessing significant expansion due to the proliferation of digital technologies and the increasing complexity of financial transactions among large enterprises and institutional clients. Wholesale banks are rapidly integrating artificial intelligence, blockchain, and advanced analytics into their service offerings, enabling more efficient risk management, fraud detection, and transaction processing. These technological advancements are not only enhancing operational efficiencies but also improving the customization of financial products to meet the specific needs of corporate clients. The shift towards digitalization has further facilitated the development of new products and services, such as real-time payment solutions and automated cash management systems, which are in high demand among large corporations and government entities. As a result, the sector is experiencing a transformation that is fundamentally reshaping how wholesale banking services are delivered and consumed.

Another significant growth factor for the wholesale banking market is the increasing globalization of trade and investment flows. As multinational corporations expand their operations across borders, the demand for sophisticated financial solutions to manage cross-border transactions, currency risks, and supply chain financing has surged. Wholesale banks play a pivotal role in supporting these global enterprises by providing tailored lending, trade finance, and treasury services. Moreover, regulatory changes and harmonization efforts in various regions have made it easier for banks to operate internationally, further fueling market growth. The expansion of international trade agreements and the rise of emerging markets as key economic players are also contributing to the growing need for wholesale banking services, particularly in regions like Asia Pacific and Latin America, where economic integration is accelerating.

Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which securities are sold to a set of counterparties under an agreement to buy them back from the same party on a specified date at the same price plus interest. Reverse repurchase agreements may be conducted with foreign official and international accounts as a service to the holders of these accounts. All other reverse repurchase agreements, including transactions with primary dealers and a set of eligible money market funds, are open market operations intended to manage the supply of reserve balances; reverse repurchase agreements absorb reserve balances from the banking system for the length of the agreement. As with repurchase agreements, the naming convention used here reflects the transaction from the counterparties' perspective; the Federal Reserve receives cash in a reverse repurchase agreement and provides collateral to the counterparties.

I develop and estimate a monetary business cycle model with nominal loans and collateral constraints tied to housing values. Demand shocks move housing and nominal prices in the same direction, and are amplified and propagated over time. The financial accelerator is not uniform: nominal debt dampens supply shocks, stabilizing the economy under interest rate control. Structural estimation supports two key model features: collateral effects dramatically improve the response of aggregate demand to housing price shocks; and nominal debt improves the sluggish response of output to inflation surprises. Finally, policy evaluation considers the role of house prices and debt indexation in affecting monetary policy trade-offs.

According to a survey conducted between July 9 and July 11, 2022, ** percent of Americans thought that Joe Biden was highly responsible for the current trend in the inflation rate. This is compared to ** percent of Americans who said President Biden did not have a lot of responsibility for the current inflation rate.

Inflation in the U.S. Global events in 2022 had a significant impact on the United States. Inflation rose from *** percent in January 2021 to *** percent in June 2022. Significantly higher prices of basic goods led to increased concern over the state of the economy, and the ability to cover increasing monthly costs with the same income. Low interest rates, COVID-19-related supply constraints, corporate profiteering, and strong consumer spending had already put pressure on prices before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Despite rising wages on paper, the rapid growth of consumer prices resulted in an overall decline in real hourly earnings in the first half of 2022.

How much control does Joe Biden have over inflation? The bulk of economic performance and the inflation rate is determined by factors outside the President’s direct control, but U.S. presidents are often held accountable for it. Some of those factors are market forces, private business, productivity growth, the state of the global economy, and policies of the Federal Reserve. Although high-spending decisions such as the 2021 COVID-19 relief bill may have contributed to rising inflation rates, the bill has been seen by economists as a necessary intervention for preventing a recession at the time, as well as being of significant importance to low-income workers impacted by the pandemic.

The most important tool for curbing inflation and controlling the U.S. economy is the Federal Reserve. The Reserve has the ability to set, raise, and lower interest rates and determine the wider monetary policy for the United States – something out of the president’s control. In June 2022, the Reserve announced it would raise interest rates **** percent for the second time that year – hoisting the rate to a target range of **** to *** percent – in an attempt to slow consumer demand and balance demand with supply. However, it can often take time before the impacts of interventions by the Federal Reserve are seen in the public’s day-to-day lives. Most economists expect this wave of inflation to pass in a year to 18 months.

Currency Inconvertibility Insurance Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global currency inconvertibility insurance market size stood at USD 3.4 billion in 2024, demonstrating a robust foundation for future expansion. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period, reaching a value of USD 6.5 billion by 2033. This impressive growth is primarily driven by the increasing volatility in global financial markets, the proliferation of cross-border investments, and the rising need for risk mitigation solutions among multinational corporations and financial institutions. The market’s upward trajectory is further fueled by geopolitical uncertainties and the growing complexity of international trade, making currency inconvertibility insurance an essential tool for global business continuity.

One of the most significant growth factors for the currency inconvertibility insurance market is the heightened risk environment associated with foreign exchange controls and sovereign interventions. As emerging and developing economies continue to attract foreign direct investment, the risk of government-imposed currency restrictions, capital controls, and payment moratoriums has increased. These risks can severely impact the repatriation of profits, dividends, or loan repayments for international investors and corporations. Consequently, businesses are increasingly seeking comprehensive insurance solutions to safeguard their assets and financial interests against such unpredictable events. The evolving regulatory landscape, coupled with the growing number of countries experiencing economic or political instability, is prompting both established and new market entrants to expand their insurance offerings and tailor policies to meet the specific needs of various industries and geographies.

Another key driver of market growth is the expanding role of global trade and investment flows. As international trade volumes surge and companies diversify their supply chains across borders, the exposure to currency inconvertibility risks has become more pronounced. Exporters, project financiers, and multinational corporations are increasingly aware of the financial consequences of being unable to convert or transfer local currency earnings due to sudden regulatory changes or economic crises. This awareness has led to greater adoption of currency inconvertibility insurance as a strategic risk management tool. Additionally, the rise of complex project finance structures—often involving multiple jurisdictions and currencies—necessitates sophisticated insurance products that can address a wide range of scenarios, from limited to comprehensive coverage. Insurers are responding with innovative solutions that not only protect against losses but also enhance investor confidence and facilitate smoother cross-border transactions.

The digital transformation of the insurance industry is also playing a pivotal role in the growth of the currency inconvertibility insurance market. The adoption of advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and online distribution channels has streamlined policy issuance, risk assessment, and claims processing. This technological evolution has made currency inconvertibility insurance more accessible to a broader range of clients, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and individual investors. Insurers are leveraging digital platforms to provide tailored coverage, real-time risk monitoring, and faster response times, thereby enhancing customer experience and expanding their reach in both developed and emerging markets. The integration of technology is expected to continue driving innovation, efficiency, and market penetration over the forecast period.

Regionally, the market exhibits significant variation, with Asia Pacific and Latin America emerging as high-growth regions due to their dynamic economic environments and increasing foreign investment inflows. North America and Europe remain strongholds for established insurers, benefiting from mature financial markets and a high level of risk awareness among corporates and financial institutions. Meanwhile, the Middle East & Africa region is witnessing growing interest as geopolitical shifts and economic diversification efforts create new opportunities and risks. The regional outlook is shaped by local regulatory frameworks, economic stability, and the level of integration with global financial systems, all of which influence the demand for currency inconvertibility insurance.
