Monetary Policy Transmission Mechanism
The monetary policy transmission mechanism describes the set of pathways through which central bank policy actions influence the real economy. These channels, which include the policy interest rate's effect on investment and consumption, asset prices, and the exchange rate, ultimately work to alter aggregate demand and, consequently, the rate of inflation.
