It is unusual to witness a clash of views among monetary policymakers that is so radical and clear-cut that it has grabbed wider political and media attention. And, under the public spotlight, some central bankers have sought to downplay the BIS’s assessment, arguing that it is all too easy to issue far-reaching policy recommendations when one suffers none of the consequences should one’s prescription turn out to be wrong.
货币决策者之间出现如此清晰彻底的观点对立，以至于引起了更广泛的政治和媒体关注，这是极不寻常的。而在公共聚光灯下，一些央行行长试图贬低国际清算银行的评估，指出如果你不会因为药方开错而承担后果，你就会相当草率，制定不出深远的政策建议。
