9 Outline 1. Real Food and Oil Price Changes 2. Implications for Monetary Policy 3. Monetary Policy in Mexico 4. Final Remarks
10 2. Implications for Monetary Policy As is well-known (e.g. Clarida, Gali and Gertler (1999)), when obtaining the optimal monetary policy response to any shock, it is standard practice to use a linear-quadratic framework. Certainty equivalence holds. In this case, the optimal feedback rule for the monetary policy instrument will be a linear, timeinvariant function of all the variables and shocks. 1
11 2. Implications for Monetary Policy However, we are not currently in this type of framework: For many central banks, high inflation may be more costly than low inflation. The shocks we are currently facing, as shown, follow a complex stochastic process, with regime shifts, time varying variances and extreme values. In addition, there is uncertainty about the duration of the high inflation regimes in commodity prices. The economy seems to behave differently in recessions than in booms (e.g., Hamilton (1989)). Thus, optimal response of monetary policy is likely to be non-linear and time-varying, and will tend to focus on risk management. 11
12 2. Implications for Monetary Policy The optimal monetary policy response to increasing inflation depends on each country s particular circumstances: The inflationary history of the country and, in particular, the extent to which a low inflation equilibrium has been sustained. The degree of persistence that each economy s inflation process exhibits to price shocks. The weight that food and energy goods have on the CPI. The phase of the cycle the country is undergoing. The impact of the current environment on the country s terms of trade. 12

19 2. Implications for Monetary Policy Should increasing inflation from the current shocks to energy and food prices imply a restrictive bias in monetary policy? Could be in countries where inflation is persistent, a low inflation equilibrium has not been sustained for a long time and where food and energy have a large weight in consumers spending. This would reflect the high costs that a breakdown of expectations-based nominal anchors that sustain a lowinflation equilibrium may have on economic performance. Indeed, some countries may face a combination of the above mentioned features that may lead them to maintain a restrictive bias in their monetary policy, even when they may be currently facing the low phase of their business cycle. 19

25 3. Monetary Policy in Mexico Research by Cortés and Ramos-Francia (28) shows that shocks that are perceived to have a persistent effect on inflation (i.e. a persistent costpush shock) cause a steepening upward shift in the yield curve. The effect on medium and long-term yields results from an increase in expected future short rates and in risk premia. 25

27 Outline 1. Real Food and Oil Price Changes 2. Implications for Monetary Policy 3. Monetary Policy in Mexico 4. Final Remarks
28 4. Final Remarks Some indicators suggest that this new high price environment may still remain for a long period of time. Thus, the risk of this environment having longer term inflationary consequences, by affecting inflation expectations and overall price setting mechanisms, is high. The issues raised above focus on the implications of this high inflation regime for monetary policy. 28
29 4. Final Remarks We have to ask to what extent we need to consider a broader view of the policy response that we should undertake, given this environment. In particular we need to ask: Which other policy instruments are available to face the current environment? What is the optimal mix of policy responses to this environment, in order to minimize negative effects on welfare? 29
