Demands for narrow money, broad money and board money in foreign currencies were estimated. The estimated results suggested that all demand functions are stable. They can be intermediate targets of the Bank of the Lao PDR. The substantial results point out: (i) there is an evidence of ample influence of exchange rates and interest rate on money balances in the Lao PDR; (ii) expected inflation indicates the effect of high inflation episodes on money balances, especially in terms of foreign currency, and (iii) the local currency, the Kip, is used predominantly for transaction purposes rather than foreign currencies. Keywords: Demand for money, long-run relationship, narrow money, broad money, error correction model. Journal of Economics and Development 47 Vol. 14, , December 2012 1.

Demand for money plays a major role in macroeconomic analysis, especially in selecting appropriate monetary policy .
