The Persistence of Moderate Inflation in the Czech Republic

Abstract

The Co-Editor of Post-Soviet Geography and Economics, an authority on the transition economies of Eastern Europe, joins a Federal Reserve Bank economist in a study of inflation in the Czech Republic, providing data from 1991 through the second quarter of 1998. After explaining the relationship between Czech inflation, exchange-rate and macro-economic policies, and the koruna crisis of May 1997, the authors examine and discuss some explanations for the persistence of moderate inflation at a level of 10 percent. They conclude by examining policy implications of their findings in the context of the Czech National Bank's new policy of inflation targeting.
