Description
Summary:In crisis times, the central bank is inevitably confronted with greater uncertainty and achieving its monetary policy objective becomes more complex. This paper posits that increased uncertainty should not prevent a central bank from taking informed decisions, but it does require a more cautious assessment and processing of information as well as adopting a broader view of the economy and a more preventive orientation towards emerging risks. Most importantly, it requires a central bank's readiness to take informed decisions that correspond to its communicated reaction function and to thereby, act under uncertainty and deliver on its mandate.
