Abstract: Monetary policies have been tightened in most industrial countries in recent months. The Fed has risen its rate from 0.75% in June 2004 to 4.75% in April 2006, while the ECB rose its rate from 2.0% last November to 2.5% in March. Central bankers pay particular attention to inflationary pressures in a context of high and still rising energy prices. We expect no second round effects, which would keep inflation close to Central Banks' targets and would lead to a slight rise in short-term interest rates, up to 5.25% in June in the US and to 3% in the euro area. The BoJ will raise its rates from 0% to 0.5% this year as deflation has ended. Long-term interest rates will rise in line with short-term interest rates. Monetary conditions will be tightened this year and remain broadly unchanged next year.
