Money supply and fertility rate
The following table is the top ten countries ranking by M2/GDP ratio. Countries with population less than ten million are excluded to reduce the impacts of financial centers. We also list their corresponding fertility rates
Rank | Country / Territory | M2 / GDP Ratio (%) | Total fertility rates |
1 | Japan | ~280%–300% | 1.2 |
2 | China | ~220%–240% | 1.0 |
3 | Taiwan | ~170%–185% | 0.86 |
4 | United Arab Emirates | ~150%–165% | 1.2 |
5 | Vietnam | ~140%–150% | 1.9 |
6 | Thailand | ~135%–145% | 1.2 |
7 | United Kingdom | ~130%–145% | 1.6 |
8 | South Korea | ~130%–140% | 0.72 |
9 | Malaysia | ~125%–135% | 1.6 |
10 | Canada | ~120%–130% | 1.3 |
Fertility rates are quite low in most of these countries. It might not be a good idea to print money to boost fertility, as suggested by some economists.
