Evaluating a Policy Statement on Monetary Finance

A government that has recently abandoned a fixed exchange rate system begins to finance its operations by creating new money. A finance minister from this country makes the following statement: 'Our initial experience shows that creating new money does not necessarily lead to high inflation. Therefore, we can continue this policy indefinitely without risk.' Critically evaluate this statement, explaining the conditions under which it might seem true in the short term and why it is likely to be false in the long term.
