https://doi.org/10.32609/0042-8736-2008-1-46-57
Abstract
Bank of Russia officials have recently declared the possibility of switching to the inflation targeting regime in the medium run. The article considers benefits and shortcomings of monetary policy regime as well as the economic performance of the inflation targeting countries. The authors conclude that Russia now starts meeting conditions crucial for the success of inflation targeting. In such circumstances Russian monetary authorities have an opportunity to weaken the exchange rate goal in favor of the inflation goal.
