Abstract

In this chapter transition countries’ monetary policy strategies in the period from the late 1980s are examined. The text covers developments in post-socialist Europe and Asia. The starting point is twofold and provides both the definition of monetary stabilization and a short description of the role of money under socialism. Then, early transition monetary events and stabilization programmes are studied. Further, monetary policy strategy developments are interpreted in the context of the so-called ‘impossible trinity’ framework. This is followed by a brief account of the main monetary strategies’ implementation problems during transition. The chapter finishes with a short discussion of current challenges facing transition countries’ central banks, and a final section provides a classification of countries by their monetary policy regimes in place as of 2015.
