FEDERAL RESERVE’s Forward Guidance
“the Committee today reaffirmed its view that a highly accommodative stance of
monetary policy will remain appropriate for a considerable time after the asset
purchase program ends and the economic recovery strengthens. The
Committee also reaffirmed its expectation that the current exceptionally low
target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 1/4 percent will be appropriate at
least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6-1/2 percent, inflation
between one and two years ahead is projected to be no more than a half
percentage point above the Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and longerterm inflation expectations continue to be well anchored.” January 29, 2014
“In determining how long to maintain the current 0 to 1/4 percent target range
for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess progress--both realized
and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent
inflation…The Committee continues to anticipate, based on its assessment of
these factors, that it likely will be appropriate to maintain the current target
range for the federal funds rate for a considerable time after the asset purchase
program ends, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the
Committee's 2 percent longer-run goal, and provided that longer-term inflation
expectations remain well anchored.” April 30, 2014

J.P.Morgan Chase
Bank of England’s Forward Guidance
“Looking beyond the immediate decision, the Committee discussed how to set
policy to achieve the 2% inflation target, while supporting the recovery, once the
7% unemployment threshold had been reached. Despite the sharp fall in
unemployment, the Committee judged that there remained scope to absorb
spare capacity further before raising Bank Rate. When Bank Rate did begin to
rise, it expected that the appropriate path, so as to eliminate slack over the next
two or three years and keep inflation close to target, would be gradual.”
-Minutes of the MPC meeting 5 and 6 February 2014, released February 19, 2014
“The LFS unemployment rate had fallen below the Committee’s 7% threshold in
the data for the three months to February. The policy guidance the Committee
had provided in August 2013 had therefore ceased to apply. The Committee
reaffirmed the subsequent guidance set out in its February Inflation Report on
how it would seek to achieve the inflation target over the policy horizon. A key
feature of the guidance was that, given the likely persistence of headwinds
weighing on the economy, when Bank Rate did begin to rise, it was expected to
do so only gradually.”

ECB’s and BoJ’s Forward Guidance
ECB
“Concerning our forward guidance, the key ECB interest rates will remain at
present levels for an extended period of time in view of the current outlook for
inflation. This expectation is further underpinned by our decisions today.
Moreover, if req uired, we will act swiftly with further monetary policy easing.
The Governing Council is unanimous in its commitment to using also
unconventional instruments within its mandate should it become necessary to
further address risks of too prolonged a period of low inflation.”
-ECB President Mario Draghi, Introductory statement, June 5, 2014

BOJ
“Quantitative and qualitative monetary easing (QQE) has been exerting its
intended effects, and the Bank will continue with the QQE, aiming to achieve the
price stability target of 2 percent, as long as it is necessary for maintaining that
target in a stable manner.”

Perspectives on Global Spillovers from
DM Central Bank Policy
RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, April 28, 2014:
“More problematic, the disregard for spillovers could put the global economy
on a dangerous path of unconventional monetary tit for tat. To ensure stable
and sustainable economic growth, world leaders must re-examine the
international rules of the monetary game, with advanced and emerging
economies alike adopting more mutually beneficial monetary policies.”
Central Bank of Brazil President Tombini, April 11, 2014:
“I am a bit skeptical about the capacity of jurisdictions to effectively and fully
coordinate policies…Brazil has a long history of riding global financial
cycles…Of course we think there are spillovers from monetary policy in
advanced economies. The world is a very financially integrated place. But we
have learned how to ride this.”
South African Reserve Bank Governor Marcus, February 3, 2014:
“When the advanced economies were really at the depth of the crisis, it was
the emerging markets that helped stabilize, that helped create some balance
to the global outlook…The challenge here is if the advanced economies say
OK, you are on your own, the scale of the emerging markets is such that it’s
