Achieving Price Stability with Inflation Targeting Strategy

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 629 - 642, 22.12.2016

Abstract

The activist
monetary policies that were imposed in the 1970s increased inflation rate on
one hand,  and failed to reduce the unemployment rate on the other hand;
consequently, the stagflation crisis was experienced. This situation, as the
Monetarists put forward in theory, shows that, in practice,  monetary
policy may be effective on prices only in the long run. These developments that
were experienced both in theory and practice led to the emergence of a
consensus in literature that “ the primary goal of monetary policy is price
stability”. Thus, in a stuation that inflation was a serious problem, most of
the countries began to impose monetary policies that gave priority to price
stability. To that end,  countries used monetary targeting and exchange
rate targeting, but nevertheless, these strategies failed. The last policy to
be imposed is inflation targeting that was adopted for the first time by New
Zealand in 1990. The objective of this study is to put out the rational for
inflation targeting.

Enflasyon Hedeflemesi Stratejisi ile Fiyat İstikrarının Sağlanması

Year 2016, Volume: 6 Issue: 3, 629 - 642, 22.12.2016

Abstract

1970’lerde uygulanan aktivist para politikaları bir taraftan enflasyon
oranını artırırken, diğer taraftan işsizlik oranlarını düşürmede başarısız
olmuş ve sonuçta stagflasyon krizi yaşanmıştır. Bu durum teorik alanda
Monetaristlerin ortaya koyduğu gibi, para politikasının uzun dönemde ancak
fiyatlar üzerinde etkili olabileceğini pratikte de göstermiştir. Teorik ve
pratik alanda yaşanan bu gelişmeler literatürde “para politikasının öncelikli
amacı fiyat istikrarıdır” şeklinde bir fikir birliğini doğurmuştur. Böylece
enflasyon oranının sorun olduğu bir ortamda ülkelerin çoğu fiyat istikrarını
önceleyen para politikalarını uygulamaya başladılar. Bu amaçla uygulanan
parasal hedefleme ve döviz kuru hedeflemesi başarılı olamamıştır. En son
uygulanan politika ise ilk olarak 1990’da Yeni Zelanda tarafından kabul edilen
enflasyon hedeflemesidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı enflasyon hedeflemesinin
gerekçelerini ortaya koymaktır.
