THE DIFFERENCE
EURO AREA's money stock is 100.0% larger than SOUTH SUDAN's — $19.94T against $2.77B. At their current rates (4.7% and 70.4% a year) Euro Area doubles in 15.2Y and South Sudan in 1.30Y.
⚠ 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.
