Abstract

M1, M2 and consumer price datasets in Bangladesh economy are non-stationary at level but stationary upon first differencing. Consumer price and M1, money supply are 1(0) co-integrated. Similarly consumer price and M2 money supply are 1(0) co-integrated. Estimated Vector Error Correction(VEC) model indicates that short-run dynamics do not destabilize the long-run relationship among the variables concerned. There exists unidirectional Granger Causality running from M1, money supply to consumer price and from M2 money supply to consumer price.
