Annotation: The author addresses the challenges and risks associated with inflation targeting as a monetary policy framework. The study focuses on two major international economic policy issues: (1) the implications of differing national regimes of inflation targeting for international economic policy cooperation, and (2) the adoption of inflation targeting by emerging-market economies that often lack stable monetary policy environments and credible policy authorities--a situation that, among other things, can complicate the use of the inflation targeting framework as the basis for IMF-supported stabilization programs.

Publisher Description:
This study reviews the literature on the contribution of low inflation to economic growth and the subsequent widespread adoption of inflation targeting as a monetary policy framework. Edwin Truman addresses the challenges and risks associated with such a framework. Building on these foundations, the study focuses on two major international economic policy issues: (1) the implications of differing national regimes of inflation targeting for international economic policy cooperation; and (2) the adoption of inflation targeting by emerging-market economies which often lack stable monetary policy environments and credible policy authorities--a situation which, among other things, can complicate the use of the inflation targeting framework as the basis for IMF-supported stabilization programs.
