#EconomicUncertainty #BankOfEngland #MonetaryPolicy #FinancialStability #InterestRates


In this insightful seminar, Evelyn Truong from Reserve Bank of New Zealand talks about the dynamics of central bank communication in an era of high inflation and economic unpredictability. The discussion centers on the optimal strategies for central banks to maintain credibility and manage market expectations effectively, especially in light of recent critiques like those from the Bernanke report concerning the Bank of England's communication practices.

Key Highlights:

- Challenges of Communicating in Uncertain Times: We dissect the difficulties central banks face in an environment where the neutral interest rate is hard to pinpoint, ranging wildly in estimates from minus one to plus five.
- Transparency vs. Reserve in Communication: The seminar debates the merits of full transparency versus controlled messaging in central bank communications. We evaluate the impact of each approach on market stability and central bank credibility.
- Practical Recommendations: Insights from the Bernanke report on enhancing communication by central banks, focusing on clarity and the handling of economic scenarios and risks.
- Future of Central Bank Communications: Discussion on the evolving role of central bank communications, striving to balance transparency with the need to prevent market overreactions.
