The authors are also looking at the issues of contemporary MP principles, their openness and effectiveness, characteristics of the modern MP transmission mechanism, and the Bank of Russia’s communication strategy. As a result , the research showed that medium-term MP would be countercyclical, and wouldn’t directly address the key economic goal of balanced, sustainable national growth.
