More generally, communication works best in an environment of economic and policy awareness by the public as well as informed policy and market analysis and commentary. The combination of economic developments and dissemination of policy analysis and economic projections by the Bank helps the public and economic agents to anticipate policy action; the so-called expectations.
For example, expectations about future inflation and, therefore, interest rates, are a key determinant in formulating investment and consumption decisions, hence economic activity. Communication also facilitates accountability and various platforms and media are used in this regard.
