THE DIFFERENCE
UNITED STATES's money stock is 100.0% larger than ERITREA's — $30.68T against $4.64B. At their current rates (6.6% and 13.1% a year) United States doubles in 10.9Y and Eritrea in 5.63Y.
⚠ 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.
