Sequential Flow of the Monetary Policy Transmission Mechanism
The transmission of a central bank's policy interest rate change through the economy follows a specific sequence that ultimately affects inflation. The process begins when the policy rate change influences broader market interest rates. These market rates then go on to affect domestic aggregate demand. Changes in domestic demand subsequently influence overall aggregate demand, which creates domestic inflationary pressures that finally determine the inflation rate.
