Currency held by public and net demand deposits refers to the total amount of money circulating within an economy, which includes both publicly held deposits and privately held deposits.
Publicly held deposits represent the money deposited in government or municipal bonds and other debt instruments. These deposits are accessible to individuals and corporations and are used to finance government spending and infrastructure projects.
Net demand deposits are the difference between the money supply and the currency held by the public. The money supply refers to the total amount of money circulating in the economy, while the currency held by the public refers to the amount of money held by individuals and corporations.
Net demand deposits indicate the level of confidence individuals and businesses have in the economy, influencing their willingness to lend and borrow money. A higher level of net demand deposits would indicate increased confidence and a higher willingness to lend money, leading to a higher currency held by public and net demand deposits. Conversely, a lower level of net demand deposits would indicate lower confidence and a lower willingness to lend money, leading to a lower currency held by public and net demand deposits
