How Will the Pandemic and War Shape Future Monetary Policy?

August 26, 2022
After more than three decades of Great Moderation which saw inflation trending down in both advanced economies (AEs) and emerging markets (EMs), inflation has surged over the last year almost everywhere (Figure 1).

It is therefore natural to ask what lessons, if any, this period offers for the conduct of monetary policy in the future. I will cap the horizon at 5 years as that seems a reasonable horizon over which to speculate about the future.

Gita Gopinath delivered remarks at the Jackson Hole Symposium, focusing on the future of monetary policy influenced by the pandemic and geopolitical tensions, notably Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She discussed how these events have tested the robustness of current monetary policy frameworks and highlighted potential shifts in economic structures affecting policy decisions. Gopinath emphasized the need for central banks to consider possible structural changes in the economy, such as shifts in aggregate supply and demand, and adapt their strategies to manage rising inflation risks effectively. She advocated for proactive central bank policies to prevent inflation expectations from becoming unanchored and stressed the importance of addressing global challenges like climate change and supply chain resilience.
