Central Bank Transparency Boosts Public Trust, Improves Economic Stability
A new index was created to measure how transparent central banks are in their inflation-targeting policies. The index was used to evaluate the Czech National Bank, which has made significant improvements in transparency over time. The bank has a system in place to forecast inflation and set policies accordingly. While the CNB has made progress, there are still some areas that need improvement. The bank is working on addressing these gaps to enhance its transparency further.
