China: Broad Money M2 / Total Market Capitalization of Listed Companies

Macro

2026-08-15

Description

The M2/total market capitalization of domestic listed companies is mainly used to evaluate the proportion of funds allocated by residents and enterprises in the stock market relative to the amount of funds in the entire society. A higher ratio indicates that the money supply in the market is larger relative to the size of the stock market, which may indicate sufficient funds but insufficient investment in the stock market; a lower ratio indicates that the stock market is relatively large or the money supply is relatively limited.

Note: The total market capitalization is greater than the circulating market capitalization, because the total market capitalization includes all stocks, while the circulating market capitalization only calculates the freely tradable part, such as founder shares, government shares, etc. are not included in the circulating market capitalization.

The latest Q3 2026 data shows that China's ratio of M2 to the total market capitalization of domestic listed companies has climbed to 3.2376, a significant rebound from the previous value of 3.0166. Although the M2 balance has exceeded 356 trillion RMB, the massive liquidity mostly settles within the banking system and fails to effectively boost the stock market's market capitalization, reflecting a macroeconomic funding phenomenon of "abundant aggregate volume but weak structural composition."
