Central Bank Credibility and Markets

Analyze the role of a central bank's credibility and policy communication in shaping investor expectations, asset pricing, and business strategy across different macroeconomic cycles. Compare how different signaling approaches (transparent forward guidance, quantified targets, and quiet restraint) influence risk premia, capital allocation, and long-term growth trajectories. Provide a structured framework for managers to translate policy signals into planning assumptions, budgets, and hedging strategies.
