Abstract

This volume features eight papers written for the conference "Financial market developments and their implications for monetary policy".

Drawing upon experiences in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, these papers characterise the key financial market trends and developments over the past decade and assess their implications for three aspects of monetary policy: (a) the formulation of policy and the transmission mechanism, (b) the implementation of policy at the operational level, and (c) the use of financial market information in the policy process.
