As a consequence of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) inflation has dropped sharply worldwide. The low levels of inflation have persisted since then due in part to the recent fall in oil prices. Such circumstances represent a new situation for central bankers, who have usually been concerned with the opposite problem – how to respond to persistently high inflation. Challenging times for policy makers usually mean very exciting times for researchers, and this is what research depar tments in central banks are experiencing at the moment. Many new research questions relating to the prolonged period of low inflation have appeared, and the current issue of the Bulletin aims to introduce some of them which CNB researchers are currently in vestigating.
