May 16, 2016 Monetary Policy Frameworks: Recent International Developments Bank of Canada Review - Spring 2016 Robert Fay, Kristina Hess Inflation-targeting frameworks have remained relatively stable over the past few years despite significant challenges, including prolonged low inflation, a large negative commodity price shock and rising financial stability concerns in some economies.
