Abstract
Conducting monetary policy in an area as colourful as the one represented by the eleven founding members of the European Monetary Union requires a few more considerations than just thinking about a homogeneous single country of comparable size. This need arises from differences in the histories of policy conduct, including monetary strategies, transmission mechanisms, communication, degree of independence of individual central banks (CB), data aggregation methods and data definitions and so on.
