Euro zone broad money growth (M3) picked up modestly in March 2026, with the year-over-year rate rising to 3.2%, up from 3.0% in February 2026. The data, updated on 29 April 2026, show a slight acceleration in the expansion of the euro area’s money supply.

The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, meaning the March reading reflects the change in M3 relative to March a year earlier, while the February figure compares to the same month a year before. The uptick suggests a small but notable strengthening in monetary aggregates across the euro zone as the first quarter of 2026 draws to a close.
