That chart shows a net increase in M2 of about 5% for the UK, rather than multiples - the Y axis doesn't start at zero, which might be misleading at first glance.

I may be missing something, but the page I posted has very similar numbers to those referenced for the StLouis Fed. You have to click on "25 years" to have a comparison with year 2000.

The post you replied to referenced the St. Louis Fed chart saying 4x M2 growth from 2000 to now. The page I referenced shows the same 4x M2 growth for the UK: from 750k at 2000 to 3000k at 2023 (values in GBP Millions). Virtually identical.
