Financial shocks prompt central banks to adjust policy based on money growth.
The article discusses how financial market shocks can affect the economy and interest rates. It suggests that central banks can use real-time data on inflation, output, interest rates, and monetary aggregates to adjust their policies.

This approach leads to stable and predictable monetary policies, even when there is uncertainty about the factors influencing financial shocks.
