monetarias

Monetarias is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective monetario, used to describe things related to money, finance, or monetary policy. In Spanish, adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun they modify, so monetarias appears in phrases such as políticas monetarias (monetary policies) and medidas monetarias (monetary measures). The form is encountered primarily in Spanish-language texts and is not used as a standalone English noun; it functions as part of compound terms.

In economics and public finance, monetarias appears in expressions that refer to the tools, rules, and data of money supply and price stability. Examples include políticas monetarias, instrumentos monetarios (monetary instruments), tasas de interés de política monetaria (policy interest rates), and operaciones de mercado abierto (open market operations). The concept encompasses central-bank actions, reserve requirements, and other measures intended to influence liquidity, inflation, and financial stability.

Monetarias also appears in discussions of monetary variables and aggregates, such as variables monetarias or agregados monetarios (monetary aggregates like M1, M2). The term is more common in Spanish-language literature, while English-language texts typically translate it as monetary or monetary policy.
