The natural interest rate (r*) is the real rate that would prevail in the long run.

The standard view in macro is that r* depends exclusively on structural factors such as productivity growth or demographics.

During periods of high #inflation, #monetarypolicy can be more effective in reducing inflation as frequent price changes lower the impact of monetary policy on economic activity.

The recent surge in inflation has led to a significant increase in the frequency of price changes. This column argues that price flexibility has an impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy. In high inflation periods, frequent price changes make monetary policy more effective in reducing inflation with less impact on economic activity. Therefore, monetary policy should be more aggressive during such periods to stabilise prices efficiently. This approach allows central banks to achieve a ‘soft landing’ with less impact on activity. Overall, central banks should adjust their strategies based on the inflation environment to optimise economic outcomes.
