A revised remit for the BoE – or, in some form, for other inflation-targeting central banks – could take this requirement further, specifying a primary and long-term target for inflation from which policymakers can deviate if doing so is deemed necessary. In such cases, the central bank’s governor should be required to write an open letter explaining the bank’s decision, including how long it expects to give priority to the non-inflation objective and how it foresees returning to normal operations.
修改后的英格兰银行权限——或其他以通胀为目标的央行——可以将这一要求更进一步，具体规定一个主要的长期通胀目标，决策者在其认为有必要时可以偏离这一目标。如此，央行行长则应该被要求写公开信解释央行的决定，包括准备在多长时间内将非通胀目标作为首要目标、预计何时可以回归常规操作。
