摘要:One of the more interesting developments in central banking in the past dozen years or so has been
the increasingly widespread adoption of the monetary policy framework known as inflation targeting.
Inflation targeting, at least in its best-practice form, consists of two parts: a policy framework of constrained
discretion and a communication strategy that attempts to focus expectations and explain the policy framework
to the public. Together, these two elements promote both price stability and well-anchored inflation
expectations; the latter in turn facilitates more effective stabilization of output and employment. Thus, a wellconceived
and well-executed strategy of inflation targeting can deliver good results with respect to output and
employment as well as inflation.
Although communication plays several important roles in inflation targeting, perhaps the most important is
focusing and anchoring expectations. Clearly there are limits to what talk can achieve; ultimately, talk must be
backed up by action, in the form of successful policies. Likewise, for a successful and credible central bank, the
immediate benefits of adopting a more explicit communication strategy may be modest. Nevertheless, making
the investment now in greater transparency about the central bank's objectives, plans, and assessments of the
economy could pay increasing dividends in the future.
