Native-currency series are rescaled by each economy's own latest USD ratio: the shape of the line is exact, the level of older points is approximate. Use the country pages for the source figures.
THE DIFFERENCE
EURO AREA's money stock is 100.0% larger than CHAD's — $19.90T against $2.90B. At their current rates (4.7% and 8.6% a year) Euro Area doubles in 15.1Y and Chad in 8.40Y.
⚠ NOT A WEALTH RANKING
"So the bigger number is the richer country?" No. Broad money counts deposits and currency outstanding, not wealth, not output and not purchasing power. A country can have a large money stock and a poor population, and the reverse. It is also not comparable to GDP, and the two series here are measured on different dates by different agencies.
