Abstract: Romania may take into consideration the construction of a Monetary Conditions Index (MCI) as an indicator of the degree of tightening or easing in monetary policy. The authors raise the question whether the current development stage of financial markets and the progress in designing and implementing monetary policy set the framework needed for an effective use of MCI. Empirical analyses show that the exchange rate and M2 are the variables that fulfil the minimal requirements for their inclusion in the MCI.
