Here we look at the next level up for the United States money supply: the M3 money stock. Note that M2 is included in the M3 money supply; however, in this video we cover only the non-M2 monetary components. Specifically in this video, we are covering repurchase agreements. These next few videos will review how it is a challenge to reconstruct this data, since the Fed stopped publishing this money supply in February 2006.
