Abstract

The Taylor rule provides a natural paragon of short-term nominal interest rates, albeit one that is subject to considerable uncertainty. This post quantifies this uncertainty and shows how this quantification contributes to monetary policy assessment. It shows that, in 2019, short-term interest rates in the euro area were close to the middle of the benchmark interval thus obtained. La règle de Taylor fournit un parangon naturel du taux d’intérêt nominal à court terme, bien que sujet à une incertitude considérable. Ce billet quantifie cette incertitude et montre l’apport de cette quantification au diagnostic de politique monétaire. Il en ressort qu’en 2019 le taux d’intérêt à court terme en zone euro s’est situé proche du milieu de l’intervalle de référence ainsi obtenu.
