Answer:

8%

Explanation:

  • Growth in money supply + Growth in velocity = Inflation + Real economic growth

Given:

  • Growth in velocity = 0 (stable at 4% hence 0 growth)
  • Inflation = 4%
  • Real economic growth = 4%

Using formula

  • Growth in money supply + Growth in velocity = Inflation + Real economic growth

  • Growth in money supply + 0 = 4% + 4%
  • Growth in money supply = 8%
