Saudi Monetary Liquidity Hits Record High

In a notable economic development, recent data has shown that the monetary liquidity in the Saudi economy, known as “Money Supply M3,” has reached its highest level ever. For the week ending on February 20, 2025, the total money supply M3 reached 3.024 trillion Saudi Riyals, compared to 3.002 trillion Riyals in the previous week.

According to data from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA), this increase reflects a rise of 0.74% during the mentioned week, and a 3.52% increase since the beginning of the year.

“Money Supply M3” is an important indicator that measures the total liquidity available in the economy, and includes:

• Currency in circulation outside banks.
• Demand deposits.
• Time and savings deposits.
• Other quasi-monetary deposits, such as deposits from residents in foreign currencies and repurchase agreements (repo).

This growth in monetary liquidity could be an indicator of improved economic activity and increased confidence in the Saudi financial sector, which reinforces the stability of the national economy.
