Inflation: Four Questions Requiring Further Research to Inform Monetary Policy, Closing Remarks, Inflation: Drivers and Dynamics Conference 2023

Loretta Mester

Speech from Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland

Abstract: Let me start by thanking the organizers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and the European Central Bank for putting together such a strong program and the ECB for its hospitality. It has been a very productive two days focused on frontier research on inflation. High inflation has been the major challenge facing many central banks over the past two years. Returning the economy to price stability in a sustainable and timely way has driven monetary policy decisions. Maintaining price stability is the responsibility of the central bank and only the central bank can deliver on this goal over time. While considerable progress has been made on developing inflation models and measures that can better inform monetary policymaking, we still have much to learn about inflation dynamics. I encourage the researchers participating in this conference to continue furthering their research agendas because good policymaking depends on the research that informs it.
