When there exist a positive correlation between two variables, the variables are said to be pro cyclical.
Two variables are countercyclical if there exists a negative correlation between them and acyclical if there is no correlation and the two variables are independent of each other.
The correlation coefficient between M3 monetary aggregate and real GDP is 0.94390523. This implies a strong positive correlation between the datas. Hence the two variables are pro-cyclical.
