Commentary: central banks and the financial system

There can be little doubt that the reform task facing policymakers in Central and Eastern Europe is the most daunting economic challenge faced by any government or central bank in recent years. It goes without saying that to fully understand this challenge requires a familiarity with existing institutional and political realities that few of us in the West can have. For both these reasons, any comments we might make and any advice we might offer to our central banking friends from these countries must be tinged with a considerable dose of humility.
