In theory, monetary policy is relatively straightforward. In practice, it is anything but. The gap between theory and practice was brought into sharp focus by the recent review of the RBA. Many observers had expected the review to focus on monetary policy objectives – a relatively theoretical aspect of monetary policy making.
