The K-percentage rule was proposed by economist Milton Friedman, according to which the central bank must increase the money supply by a constant percentage every year.

The K-percent rule proposes to set the growth of the money supply at a rate equal to the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) each year.
In the United States, this will typically be in the 2-4% range, based on historical averages.
