The amount of cash in circulation in the country is an important indicator of the economy. An increase in the volume of cash in circulation may indicate growth in consumer spending and other economic activities. The distribution of cash flow, as well as the distribution by the denominations of banknotes and coins, can indicate demand and consumption in various sectors of the economy.
