Azerbaijan's Inflation Tamed by Linking Money Supply to Economic Growth
The article presents two models for predicting inflation in Azerbaijan. One model uses monthly data and considers factors like money growth, exchange rates, and price changes. The other model uses quarterly data and looks at money market imbalances. Both models show that money supply is a key factor driving inflation, explaining up to 97.8% of CPI growth. To control inflation, the Central Bank of Azerbaijan should tie money supply to real non-oil GDP growth.
