The International Monetary Fund’s chief economist urged central banks to maintain sufficiently restrictive policy as commodity prices and technology-investment-related factors continue to pose inflation risks.

Policymakers should keep working to bring inflation back to target and prevent second-round effects. The pass-through from higher commodity prices to core inflation remains contained, but further pressure could require additional tightening.

Policy stances will differ by country, with each central bank assessing its own economic conditions. Price stability should remain the common objective, while central-bank independence remains essential to achieving it.
