This concerned, for example, the handling of Brexit as well as conducting monetary policy and setting interest rates more generally. In light of this criticism, it may be time for a friendly reminder that central bank independence is not debatable. Experience shows that political influence over central banks always leads into disorder.
At the end of the day, independent central banks best guarantee price stability. Calling central bank independence into question, even only implicitly, can confuse markets as well as the public about who is in charge when it comes to monetary policy and supervisory decisions. In summary, politicians are well advised not to exert influence in the wrong place or with the wrong measures.
