Background

Professor Buckle’s paper reviews the international development of central bank independence, including the reasons it spread internationally since the 1980s and the influence it has had. The paper considers contemporary developments, including for example central bank mandates, the choice of monetary policy instruments, and the experience of the pandemic, and how these could have an influence on central bank independence.
