Monetáris

Monetáris is a term used in Hungarian to mean monetary or related to money. In economic writing it is employed to describe policies, institutions, or variables associated with the money supply, central banking, and the financial system, as in monetáris politika (monetary policy) or monetáris rendszer (monetary system).

Etymology and usage context: Monetáris derives from Latin monetarius, meaning of money, and has been adopted into Hungarian to distinguish monetary aspects from fiscal or real-economy factors. In academic and policy discussions, it helps separate topics tied to currency, credit, and central-bank actions from those concerned with production, employment, or trade.

In practice, monetáris policy involves instruments such as policy interest rates, reserve requirements, open market operations, and liquidity facilities. The aim is to influence inflation, employment, and macroeconomic stability. Monetáris variables typically include money supply growth, credit aggregates, and interest rates, while real variables cover output, unemployment, and productivity.

As a proper noun: Monetáris may appear as a brand name for publications, research groups, or events centered on monetary affairs. When used in this way, the term functions as a title or identifier rather than a description of a policy or economic object.
