Monetary transmission in low-income countries : an overview

Author

  • Montiel, Peter J.

Abstract

The paper starts with the premise that, throughout the world, monetary policy has come to bear primary responsibility for short-run macroeconomic stabilization. In order to perform this function, however, monetary policy must have the capacity to exert a reliable influence on aggregate demand. This is known as the monetary policy transmission mechanism.
