Significance Similar fears accompanied the 2008-09 anti-crisis response, but did not come true. The main reason is that, while quantitative easing and other measures boost the monetary base (M0), inflation is more likely to be fired by strong growth in the broadest monetary aggregate (M3); so far, there has been limited pass-through from M0 to M3. Impacts Central bank money supply is underwriting stock market gains, an intended monetary policy outcome; but stock market volatility is rising. If higher inflation does occur, central banks have the tools to control it; indeed, rising prices has been a central monetary policy goal. If inflationary pressures do appear, reducing the large volumes of banks’ excess reserves will require adroit management.
