Event Details
This lecture examines spillovers from global monetary policy shocks and policy responses by Asian central banks in the past several years. It then outlines a conceptual framework for thinking about the different types of uncertainty – structural, disturbance, and radical – that Asian central banks may face, and how these could shape key monetary policy trade-offs in the period ahead.
