I would describe the consensus as an acceptance of a dual mandate for monetary policy. Monetary policy seeks first to achieve and maintain price stability over the longer run and, second, to retain the flexibility to dampen cyclical fluctuations in the economy around full employment. That is, I suspect, a sharper statement than many (and indeed most) central banks today feel comfortable with.
At the conference, the consensus was described as “flexible inflation targeting.” Most central banks want to emphasize, with good reason, their price stability objective. This reflects a couple of strongly held views.
