Applying an Inflation-Targeting Lens to Macroprodential Policy "Institutions"

by Güneş Kambera,b, Özer Karagediklia, Christie Smitha,b

Abstract

We describe the origins of inflation targeting in New Zealand, and then use the four key attributes of inflation targeting-independence, the inflation target, transparency, and accountability-as an organizing device to analyze macroprudential policy "institutions"-the rules, regulations, and governance frameworks that implement macroprudential policies.

JEL Codes: E52, E58, E61.
