Conducting Monetary Policy With Inflation Targets
S ince the early 1990s, a number of central banks have adopted numerical inflation targets as a guide for monetary policy. The targets are intended to help central banks achieve and maintain price stability by specifying an explicit goal for monetary policy based on a given time path for a particular measure of inflation. In some cases the targets are expressed as a range for inflation over tim...
متن کاملFiscal and Monetary Policy in a Monetary Union: Credible Inflation Targets or Monetised Debt?
The paper examines the interrelationship between fiscal and monetary policy in a two-country monetary union. The worst scenario occurs when an independent central bank (CB) sets the nominal interest rate and responds to rising government debt/GDP ratios by monetisation. The result is high inflation, high debt/GDP ratios and a large public sector. Government debt and inflation are contained if t...
متن کاملEvolution with Drifting Targets
We consider the question of the stability of evolutionary algorithms to gradual changes,or drift, in the target concept. We define an algorithm to be resistant to drift if, forsome inverse polynomial drift rate in the target function, it converges to accuracy 1 − ǫwith polynomial resources, and then stays within that accuracy indefinitely, except withprobability ǫ at any one tim...
متن کاملInflation Targets and Inflation Targeting
There is widespread agreement that price stability (in practice, low and stable inflation) should be an objective of monetary policy. This agreement is reflected both in the mandates set for monetary policy by governments and in the practice of central banks. Several other important questions about the objectives for monetary policy are less settled: Should there be other objectives? If there a...
متن کاملDiscussion of The Evolution of Monetary Policy: From Money Targets to Inflation Targets
This paper tip-toes skilfully through a field of undetonated mines left over from previous policy wars, defending the Bank’s actions here and there, while pushing the message that the institution has now largely cleaned up its act in a series of steps from the late 1980s onwards culminating in the adoption of an inflation target earlier in the 1990s. From the late 1980s onward the Bank had beco...
