Abstract

The model used in this post shows that, in the absence of a monetary response to the price increases in 2022, inflation in the euro area would have been approximately 2.5 to 3 percentage points higher in 2024. Conversely, a more aggressive monetary policy response would have brought inflation down faster and more sharply, but at the cost of a year's recession and at the risk of then undershooting the 2% inflation target over the medium term. Le modèle utilisé dans ce billet montre qu’en l'absence de réaction monétaire face à la montée des prix en 2022, l'inflation dans la zone euro aurait été supérieure d’environ 2,5 à 3 points de pourcentage en 2024. À l’inverse, une réponse plus agressive de la politique monétaire aurait permis de réduire plus rapidement et plus fortement l'inflation, mais au prix d'une année de récession et au risque de manquer ensuite durablement par le bas l’objectif de 2% à moyen terme.
