Linden Lab to Start SL Economic Data Releases on 3pointD (http://www.3pointd.com/20060418/linden-lab-to-start-sl-economic-data-releases/)

Money supply is growing at a rate of something like 6 percent a month or perhaps a bit more.

Land mass is growing at around 10 percent a month. (There are currently 2,262 “sims” for a total of about 141 square km. of virtual real estate.)

Population growth, of course, is huge, with more than 185,000 members at the moment. Just a year ago, SL’s population was in the range of only 28,000.
