The adoption of inflation targeting is effective in terms of alleviating such concern. The reason for this is that an inflation targeting policy is a device to hold a specific numerical target for the future inflation rate and make a commitment to achieving a situation that generates neither inflation above the target rate nor deflation.
Though an inflation targeting policy is often discussed in Japan as a measure to overcome deflation, it was originally adopted in the 1980s in countries that suffered high inflation, such as New Zealand.
