DELAYED SIGNALLING
In contrast to exchange rates and monetary aggregates,
inflation is not easily controlled by the monetary authorities. Furthermore, because
of the long lags in the effects of monetary policy, inflation outcomes are revealed
only after a substantial lag. Thus an inflation target is unable to send immediate
signals to both the public and markets about the stance of monetary policy.
However, we have seen that the signals provided by monetary aggregates may not
be very strong. Hence, it is not at all clear that monetary targeting is superior to
inflation targeting on these grounds.
