The old M1 growth rate is estimated at -2.5%, showing a recovery from January but still lower than December's rate [1][2]. - The growth of M1 is crucial as it reflects the liquidity demand for consumption, housing, and non-deposit financial investments from households and businesses. The current M1 growth indicates a lower operational cash flow in society compared to economic and debt growth [2][3]. - Fiscal policy strength is a key determinant of M1 growth trends.
