Answer to Question 2

Inflation targeting requires that the nation's central bank set and then make public an explicit target for the inflation rate. Then the central bank must explain how its policy actions are designed to achieve its inflation goal. Inflation targeting has the major advantage of firmly setting the public's expected inflation rate. It also serves to keep the actual inflation rate because central banks are loathe to set a target level for inflation.
