Not surprisingly, central bankers who are committed to a formal or informal inflation target of about 2% per year are unwilling to abandon their mandates openly and to assert that they are pursuing a high rate of inflation. Nevertheless, their expansionary actions have helped to raise long-term inflation expectations toward the target levels.
毫不意外，致力于确保2%的（正式或非正式）年通胀率的央行官员们不愿意公开放弃成命并坚持说他们在追求更高的通胀率。不论如何，他们的扩张性举措有助于提升达成目标水平的长期通胀预期。
