Objective

The implementation of monetary policy requires both well-defined goals and a consistent set of policy instruments to achieve them. This course will begin by placing the central bank’s monetary policy operations within the context of broader monetary policy strategy, emphasising the link between policy formulation and implementation, as well as touching upon monetary policy objectives and instruments and the functioning of the monetary policy transmission mechanism. The course will then focus on the practicalities of implementing monetary policy, including collateral framework principles and challenges, credit assessment of non-marketable assets, monetary policy refinancing operations and monetary policy purchase programmes as well as an introduction to market intelligence at the Deutsche Bundesbank.
