Abstract

The paper discusses the implementation of inflation-targeting across countries. It argues that the intermediate variable under an inflation target is, in effect, the inflation forecast. Such a regime is shown to confer benefits over other regimes, such as money and exchange rate targeting: in terms of the efficient implementation of policy; in terms of transparency; and in terms of the stabilisation of inflation and output.
