The future is likely to bring more volatile inflation due to less elastic supply capacities and more frequent adverse supply shocks, necessitating a re-evaluation of monetary policy principles and frameworks The traditional approach of "looking through" supply-driven inflation has been based on the transitory nature of such shocks and anchored inflation expectations. However, the recent inflation surge has revealed that risks of inflation de-anchoring can emerge suddenly, and forceful monetary tightening may be required to re-anchor expectations and stabilise inflation. Going forward, more frequent adverse supply shocks mean that central banks must exercise care when assessing if they can look through their inflationary effects. Source: BiS |
