Advancing the frontiers of monetary policy Paperback / softback

Edited by Tobias Adrian, Douglas Laxton, Maurice Obstfeld

Paperback / softback

Description

How should a country implement inflation-forecast targeting for monetary policy?

This book explores the basic principles and practices.

A central theme is that managing expectations is essential for achieving the inflation target and for effectively managing short-term policy trade-offs.

The book outlines efficient operational procedures, central bank communications, financial stability issues, and the importance of incorporating financial conditions in inflation-forcast targeting.

It also reviews the experiences of Canada, the Czech Republic, India and the United States.

The analysis argues for assertive policies and maximum transparency, especially when long-term expectations tilt towards high inflation or deflation.
