What is Money Supply and Why is it COnstantly Increasing?

Money supply is the total amount of money available in an economy at a given time. It includes physical currency, demand deposits, and other liquid assets.

The money supply is often increased to stimulate economic growth, but it can also lead to inflation if it grows too rapidly.
