It consists of perfectly liquid financial instrument such as cash deposits.<\/p>\n<p>The slower growth in M2 was mainly driven by decline in domestic claims specifically, claims to other sectors.

The decline was due to repayments made by the business sector during the review period.<\/p>\n<p>Annual growth in other loans and advances (i.e. personal\/commercial loans and credit cards) slowed further during December 2018, despite maintaining double digit growth rates<\/p>\n<p>The annual growth in other loans and advances slowed for a second month in a row to 21.6% at the end of December 2018.
