Answer:

Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The money supply is the total amount of money that exists in an economy at any point in time. Therefore, it can also be equated to the currency that is in circulation. When a person takes a loan offered by a bank, he receives money. He then uses this money to purchase things in the economy, putting the money in circulation. Therefore, a loan from a bank increases the money supply of the economy.
