The emergence of principles-based policy

The Swiss National Bank has published a paper reviewing what it describes as the success of its principles-based approach to monetary policy.

The central bank discusses the success of its approach, which it describes as "an intermediate position between full discretion and rigidly defined short-term inflation targeting."

According to the Swiss, the impressive track record of the approach since its introduction in 1999, suggests that other central banks should consider adopting a similar policy.
