Monetary policy difficulties

Two weeks ago I had written about Monetary policy at a crossroads. Today, the front page headlines in the business press were about short-term inter-bank rates going up to very high annualised rates. I think these symptoms are consistent with the picture of an inconsistent monetary policy regime, one where the old operating framework is increasingly problematic. Update: Andy Mukherjee has a Bloomberg column on this.

  1. Ajay,

    Well said.

    I have chronicled the reasons of the recent spurt in money rates as well as suggested a few ideas on the future course of action on my weblog (www.intelligentguess.com).

    More ideas and suggestions are welcome.

    I hope MINT contacts you soon for a regular coloumn.
