    2. Price level: If the general price level in the economy for all the commodities are high as in the case of inflation, then demand for money will be more as now more money will be required to purchase the same set of commodities and if the general price level in the economy for all the commodities are low as in the case of deflation, then demand for money will be less  as now less money will be required to purchase the same set of commodities.
    3. Rate of interest: Rate of interest is the rate charged on the loans offered by the commercial banks to the people with or without any collateral. If rate of interest is high then it will decrease the real income with the people as a result of which purchasing power would be decreased which will decrease the demand for money in the economy and if rate of interest is low then it will increase the real income with the people as a result of which purchasing power would be increased which will increase the demand for money in the economy.
