Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of money supply and the exchange rate on the inflation rate in the Libyan economy during the period 1990–2008. To achieve this objective, the Consumer Price Index ( CPI ) was utilized as a proxy for the inflation rate, while the broad money supply ( M2 ) and the exchange rate of the Libyan Dinar against the US Dollar ( E ) were employed as independent variables.
