An den Lippen der EZB – Der KOF Monetary Policy Communicator

Author

Abstract

Die «Einleitenden Bemerkungen» des Präsidenten der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) im Rahmen der monatlichen Pressekonferenz werden weltweit mit grosser Aufmerksamkeit verfolgt. Sowohl die anwesenden Journalisten als auch die online zugeschalteten Ökonomen und Analysten verfolgen jedes Wort des Präsidenten mit Spannung und suchen nach Hinweisen auf eine bevorstehende Änderung der Leitzinsen. Der neue KOF Monetary Policy Communicator (KOF MPC) transformiert die Aussagen des EZB-Präsidenten in eine quantitative Grösse. Er misst, welche Risiken für die zukünftige Preisstabilität kommuniziert werden und gibt somit wichtige Hinweise auf die zu erwartenden geldpolitischen Massnahmen.
