Central Banking with the Benefit of Hindsight

Jelle Zijlstra

Chapter 8 in Money and the Economy: Central Bankers’ Views, 1987, pp 167-183 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is well-nigh indisputable that the present time is far from easy for central banks and their governors. Not only must they do their work under difficult circumstances but they are also subject to a degree of public and political interest which does nothing to ease their burden, let alone make it pleasurable. My intention here is to discuss this subject against a background of nearly fifteen years’ experience as President of the Netherlands Bank and of a similar period as President of that remarkable institution, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) at Basle.
