Changes in the money supply can impact interest rates in the economy by influencing the supply and demand for money. When the money supply increases, interest rates tend to decrease as there is more money available for borrowing, leading to lower borrowing costs. Conversely, a decrease in the money supply can lead to higher interest rates as borrowing becomes more expensive due to limited money supply.
