Draw from the glossary on the Educational Resources page. You have three directly relevant definitions to use:

Why does money supply matter?
The level of money supply in an economy is closely linked to inflation and economic growth. When money supply grows faster than the economy, it can lead to rising prices. CBSI monitors money supply as part of its primary objective to maintain price stability and sustain the value of the Solomon Dollar.
