The phrase
"money velocity" refers to the speed at which money circulates or moves through the economy. It measures how quickly people spend money, which indicates economic activity. If
money velocity is high, it suggests that money is frequently changing hands and the economy is active. On the other hand, if
money velocity is low, it means people are holding onto money and not spending as much, indicating a slower economy.
