Economists who follow money supply data are also alarmed by the fact that the growth momentum of commercial bank lending is displaying a visible decline.
The essence of MZM is that it encompasses financial assets with zero maturity.
This must be contrasted with the Austrian School of Economics Money Supply definition (money AMS) that aims at identifying what money is and where it is located in an economy.[2] In contrast to MZM money, the AMS definition doesn't deal with assets that can be converted into money but rather with money.

Hays says that over the last 13 weeks, growth of the Money of Zero Maturity or MZM -- cash that can be readily used by consumers -- has jumped by some 25 percent, a record increase.
MZM is a neat measure because it counts all money not tied up in checking and savings accounts, thus the reference to Money of Zero Maturity.

 Sitting on a String by Gary North
First, take a look at MZM, "money of zero maturity." This indicator I regard as the most relevant monetary indicator, because it is closest to the characteristic feature of money: instant spendability.
Money is not the whole story, but it is a large component of any financial story.
But there is this limiting factor at work: the advent of "sweeps," in which customers' money in checking accounts (10% reserve) are moved overnight to savings accounts (0% reserve), and then moved back into checking accounts the next day, has reduced to 30% the number of banks bound by reserve requirements.

 GT's Market Rant - Market Analysis, Commentary and Opinion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
The first effect is that the growth of the money supply must slow (by which I mean "money at zero maturity" - the money base).
A slowing in the growth of MZM (money at zero maturity) will slow the growth of other monetary aggregates by narrowing the spread between borring costs and lending rates; this will (generally) make banks less willing to extend credit at the margin.
We are at the "Wile E Coyote" stage now; people are borrowing floating-rate money to refinance fixed-rte obigations, and are adding to debt on top of that in order to fund the gap between the lifestyle they can afford and the one they think they ought to have.

This is because the velocity — or turnover, or demand — for money is not stable.
With transaction balances, such as M1 (currency and demand deposits) or MZM (money at zero maturity), the public’s demand for money can be quantified.
Hence, more money from the Fed is required to finance the economy’s expanded potential to grow.

There's a very simple way of letting the free market decide how much money there should be to perfectly match its supply with the demand for it -- or to put it another way, how much liquidity should be available to the economy without triggering either inflation or deflation.

This is becoming the prefered measurement of the money supply because some believe it gives a more realistic view of money readily available for spending and consumption....This measurement has gone up over 19%.
The second fallacy is your friend's ignoring that money is not nuetral, and when central banks arbitrarily increase the supply of credit and money, without a corresponding increase in production, inflation results.
The rise in the money supply,and not the assumption that the economy is going to "grow" is the reason the govt's financial instruments were not selling at the price offered.

The NSE Zero Curve starts from the basic premise of ‘time value of money’ – that a given amount of money today has a value different from the same amount due at a future point of time.
An individual willing to part with his money today has to be compensated in terms of a higher amount due in future – in other words, he has to be offered a positive rate of return on the principal amount.
Estimates of the NSE Zero Curve at regular intervals over a period of time provides us with a time-series of the interest rate structure in the economy, which can be used to analyse the extent of impact of monetary policy.

 Does Money Matter?
The St. Louis Federal Reserve created a new measure of money, zero-maturity, known as MZM, to handle the distortions produced by deregulation and financial innovations.
While the traditional Ms are additive up to M3, MZM moves differently; it doesn't include small time deposits, for example, which don't have a zero maturity.
Recent concern about a slow or declining growth in the money supply has to focus here: The level of commercial and industrial lending as a percentage of the GDP is the lowest since the data became available in 1959.
