Circular flow and the multiplier

Circular flow diagram showing an initial injection, repeated rounds of household income and consumption, and leakages as saving, taxation, and imports Aggregate demand is total planned spending, AD=C+I+G+(X−M)AD = C + I + G + (X - M)AD=C+I+G+(X−M). In the circular flow, injections such as investment, government spending and exports add demand, while leakages such as saving, taxation and imports drain it away.
