This change marks a slowdown in the expansion of the country's broad money supply. The comparison was made on a Year-over-Year basis, indicating a comparison of the change in April 2024 to the same month a year ago.
The updated data, released on 11th May 2024, reflects the evolving economic landscape in China. As M2 money stock is a key indicator of overall economic activity and liquidity in the market, this slight decline could have implications for the country's monetary policy and overall economic growth.
