というBISレポートをMostly Economicsが紹介している。原題は「"Front-loading" monetary tightening: pros and cons」で、著者は Paolo Cavallino、Giulio Cornelli、Peter Hördahl、Egon Zakrajšek。
以下はその要点。
- In response to the surge in inflation globally, central banks have engaged in the most synchronised and rapid monetary tightening in 50 years.
- Parsing the evidence from 11 advanced economies since 1970 indicates that "front-loading" of interest rate hikes is successful in countering inflation, even in the face of large and persistent inflationary shocks.
- Still, front-loaded monetary policy tightening may carry risks to financial stability, especially in an environment of high private and public debt levels or potential fragility in market liquidity.
