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

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.
