The establishment of an operationally independent central bank was the first major policy decision by the Chancellor in 1997. He set out the framework whereby he would set the objectives for monetary policy, in the form of an inflation target, but the Bank of England and the nine-member Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) would have the operational responsibility. This report is divided into four sections. The first assesses the performance of the MPC, whilst the second examines the components of the broader monetary framework. The third part looks at how the Treasury Committee has met its own objectives and the last section looks at the wider aspects of economic policy. They conclude that the record of the MPC is impressive and it has established a high level of credibility but there is a worry that there is a bias to undershooting the inflation target.

Download Elements of Optimal Monetary Policy Committee Design Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The move from individual decision making to committee decision making is widely seen as a major evolution in contemporary central banking. This paper reviews the relevant economics and social psychology literatures with a view to providing some insights into the question of optimal monetary policy committee design. While the preference aggregation literature points to the effect of committee structure on the extent of the time inconsistency problem and its associated costs, the belief aggregation literature analyzes how different committee structures affect the efficiency of information pooling, the process of social influence, and collective accuracy. In conclusion, we highlight the main tradeoffs that the analysis has brought to light and point to directions for future research.

This paper considers optimal communication by monetary policy committees in a model of imperfect knowledge and learning. The main policy implications are that there may be costs to central bank communication if the public is perpetually learning about the committee's decision-making process and policy preferences. When committee members have heterogeneous policy preferences, welfare is greater under majority voting than under consensus decision-making. Furthermore, central bank communication under majority voting is more likely to be beneficial in this case. It is also shown that a chairman with stable policy preferences who carries significant weight in the monetary policy decision-making process is welfare enhancing.

Download Remarks on 'Making Monetary Policy by Committee' Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In these remarks, Paul Tucker, Executive Director for Markets and Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member, notes that social, political and historic factors affect the choice of monetary policy decision-making structures in different countries. In the United Kingdom, the MPC sets Bank Rate on a one member, one vote basis, and so compared with other central banks, is at the 'individualistic' end of the spectrum. But there are centripetal forces at work too: MPC members are incentivised to listen to one another, learn and persuade by careful analysis; and some MPC communications, such as the quarterly Inflation Report, are based on a shared understanding of the economy. The more collective Committee statements provide a backdrop for individual members' statements, and help to reduce the risk, aired by some commentators, of 'cacophony' in communications impeding the effectiveness of policy. As for the current conjuncture, he notes that because of the financial market turmoil, the short-term risk-free rate of interest may not be a summary statistic of monetary conditions in the usual way. Consequently it is necessary to undertake a richer analysis of monetary and credit conditions.

The Treasury Committee has established a practice of holding hearings with persons appointed to the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England and reporting on those hearings. This practice enhances the transparency of the appointment process and increases the level of information available to the public and to Parliament about the functioning of the MPC. The Committee has held a hearing with Professor David Blanchflower about his appointment to the MPC, and is satisfied that Professor Blanchflower meets the criteria for appointment.
