English term or phrase: growth rates of money, credit and asset prices
There's really not much context to go on. The text is a report from the IMF on the Swedish economy, and the full sentence is as follows:

"Most indicators of resource constraints point to slack in the economy: low consumer confidence; unutilized capacity; weak manufacturing growth; low or declining growth rates of money, credit, and asset prices; subdued economic projections; and low inflation rates excluding energy prices."
