The Centrаl Bаnk оf Piedmоnt hаs been оrdered by the Piedmont legislature to design monetary policy such that inflation remains low and stable and employment remains at the maximum level consistent with low and stable inflation. The Central Bank of Piedmont has decided to maintain low and stable inflation by setting the federal funds rate consistent with 2% average increase in its Consumer Price Index, where the average is calculated over a two year period. The bank controls other interest rates as well and sets its discount rate higher than the federal funds rate and the interest rate it pays on reserves lower than the federal funds rate. The bank maintains these interest rates by adjusting the rate of short-term treasury bonds it holds. For example, last year the bank was worried that inflation was increasing, so they used one of their conventional monetary policy tools to adjusted their bond holding to bring the inflation rate back to its target. However, during extraordinary times, adjusting short-term bond holdings might not be enough to keep inflation at target, and the bank will have to use unconventional tools. Fore example, several years ago, the bank's president had to give a speech where she promised to do all that was necessary for as long as necessary to get inflation back to target.
