When inflаtiоn expectаtiоns аre unanchоred, the public believes that large swinging in the inflation rate will not occur.
The Centrаl Bаnk оf Piedmоnt hаs been оrdered by the Piedmont legislature to design monetary policy such that it prioritizes maintaining low and stable inflation above all other goals. The Central Bank of Piedmont has decided to maintain low and stable inflation by setting the federal funds rate consistent with a 2% annual increase in its Consumer Price Index. The bank controls other interest rates as well and sets its discount rate higher than the federal funds rate and the interest rate it pays on reserves lower than the federal funds rate. The bank maintains the federal funds rate by adjusting the rate of short-term treasury bonds it holds. For example, last year the bank was worried that inflation was decreasing below its target, so they used one of their conventional monetary policy tools to adjust their bond holdings to bring the inflation rate back to its target. However, during extraordinary times, adjusting short-term bond holdings might not be enough to meet their goals, and the bank will have to use unconventional tools. For example, several years ago, the bank's president promised to buy a large amount of long-term Treasury bonds to help meet its goal. This statement describing the Central Bank of Piedmont's monetary policy regime highlights several monetary policy concepts we have discussed in class. Using the concepts discussed in class please explain the following: What, if any, system (i.e. corridor or floor) does the Central Bank of Piedmont use when setting interest rates?
