Abstract:
Monetary support of the economy represents a necessary prerequisite for ensuring sustainable economic development, which is a priority strategic direction of public policy of any State. The purpose of the article is to identify the features and trends of monetary provision of the world economy in general and in terms of groups of countries, which will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between economic development and the process of monetization of the economy. The concept of «monetization of the economy» is distinguished as a state and as a process. In the context of management, the monetization of the economy should be considered as a process that is a product of a reaction to the measures of public policies to manage the supply and demand for money, which is expressed in the remonetization and demonetization of the economy, while the state of monetization of the economy is proposed to be considered as a criterion for the adequacy of monetary provision to the economy. It is noted that a sufficient level of monetary provision of the economy has a positive impact on economic development, the dominant component of which is defined as economic growth. The analysis of the monetization of the world economy in the dynamics for 2000-2020 reveals a general trend towards monetary expansion of world economies. Based on data for 133 countries, the article identifies an increasing correlation between the level of monetization of the economy and economic development in the years of 2000, 2010 and 2020, which shows the importance of ensuring the processes of remonetization of economies for the economic development of the global economy. It is determined that the monetization of the world economy has a general upward trend, which intensifies after the passage of economic crises. The hypothesis that there is a link between the level of monetary support of the economy and economic development in other countries is justified. The existence of a positive relationship over the past 20 years, which has been strengthening over time, has been revealed. Several countries have a generally high level of monetization, but do not have tangible progress in economic development, which is primarily due to the non-monetary features of the development of these countries.

Keywords: monetization, money supply, monetary policy, bank lending, income level, GDP, inflation, economic development.
