Release alerts
Enter your account email. We will notify you when the next official-source GBP Broad Money (M3) release is published.
Broad money for United Kingdom encompasses all forms of money that can be readily used or easily converted to cash, including demand deposits, savings deposits, and short-term instruments. It is typically equivalent to M2 or M3.
Broad money growth reflects the combined effect of Bank of England monetary policy and private sector credit creation. Sustained above-trend growth creates the monetary conditions necessary for inflation.
Rapidly growing broad money is a medium-term inflation signal and supports a hawkish Bank of England stance. Contracting or near-zero broad money growth indicates restrictive financial conditions and potential deflationary risk.
M3 (broad money) extends M2 with longer-term deposits and institutional money-market funds. It is the most comprehensive money-supply measure published by most central banks.
Watch the year-over-year change. Compare across currencies for relative monetary stance. The eurozone M3 series is the most FX-relevant given the ECB's historical attention to it.

USD is free without a key. All other currencies require a Professional API key.
Public USD endpoint — anonymous callers receive the most recent 365 days. Add `?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY` to page through full stored USD history or to access any other currency. Date filters are applied before pagination. The default page size is 20 rows and the maximum is 100. Use either `page` or `offset`; when both are provided, `page` takes precedence. Broad windows should be traversed with `pagination.next_offset`, not split into custom shorter-window retries. If the selected series exists but a requested date window has no observations, the API returns a structured `NO_DATA_IN_REQUESTED_WINDOW` 404 with coverage dates, `recommended_start_date`, and `available_observation_count`. Forecasts are served separately by /v1/predictions/gbp; join via `announcement_id`.
Macroeconomic announcement and catalogue rows are normalized from official central-bank, national statistics, treasury, or government publisher releases. Responses expose publisher metadata via source, source_url, and provenance fields where available.
Responses expose source, source_url, provenance, and data_quality fields for source citation, timestamp completeness, stale-data flags, and point-in-time safety checks.
Optional indicators use per-currency fetcher capability checks and may be temporarily hidden while source coverage is being remediated.
