Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange

In the latest edition of its twice-yearly World Economic Outlook, published on September 25th, the IMF asks the same question, and not just about America. Not surprisingly, it concludes that the way in which monetary policy feeds through to the economy(or the "monetary transmission mechanism", to use the economists’ unlovely term) is complicated.
