Abstract

Inflation always has a monetary dimension, but managing inflation is not a simple question of monetary management. Other factors to contend with are the indexation process (including policies on wage and price controls), the level and financial composition of fiscal deficits, and supply conditions. How these interact has crucial implications for policy design.
