In this speech, Charles Bean, Chief Economist and member of the Monetary Policy Committee, reviews the background to the adoption of an inflation target in 1992 and the subsequent development of the regime, in particular the delegation of operational responsibility for monetary policy to the Bank of England in 1997 and the associated institutional framework. He goes on to explain some aspects of the way policy is formulated and conducted at the Bank, relating it to some of the burgeoning literature on inflation targeting. He next reviews some aspects of performance since the Bank's independence and concludes with a discussion of the question of how monetary policy should respond to asset price booms and high rates of debt accumulation
