• Of course, interest rates is the most common and powerful monetary policy tool
in the hands of monetary authorities.
• The government, through the monetary authority, uses the interest rate to
control economic activities and outcome, towards a desired ending, including
low inflation.
• Therefore, the government can continue using the interest rate for the intended
purpose.
• However, it must consider alternative tools such as open market operations and
reserve requirements.
• This is because interest rate can be directly inflationary as interest is a cost of
borrowing hence negatively affect (discourage) investment and consumption,
consequently, reduce real output and can cause unemployment rise.
• If interest has to be used, an optimal interest rate should be set
• Alesina (1988) notes that interest rate must be used cognisant of the transission
mechanism
• Transmission process is generally complex and involves high degree of
uncertainty in terms of timing and size of impact in the economy.
• Barro (1997) adds that transmission mechanism involves long, variable and
uncertain time lags, making it difficult to predict precise effect of monetary policy
actions on targeted variables such as inflation.
• Alternative policy can be used namely fiscal policy or supply side policies to
increase productivity hence reduce inflation
• Fiscal policy can be used together as a policy mix with interest rate
