The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a significant global supply and demand shock, highlighting the urgent need to examine central bank policies in response. This book delves into the question of whether central banks are adequately addressing inequalities, concerns around climate change, and emerging technologies. Adopting a multidisciplinary and critical perspective, the contributors to this volume offer novel theoretical, methodological, and empirical insights on central banks across the globe, including advanced, emerging, and developing economies.

The chapters in this book explore the evolution of central bank mandates, the policy tools employed by central banks, the reasons and mechanisms behind the diverse shapes of monetary policy, including unconventional approaches, the key dynamics influencing central bank policies, the strategies employed by central banks to adapt to the new realities and address emerging challenges, and the perception of monetary policy within the broader economic policy framework.

Drawing on novel theoretical frameworks and diverse empirical evidence from a range of countries, this book appeals to readers with interests in central banking, monetary policy, the economics of the pandemic, and political economy.
