"Geldpolitik muss größeres Augenmerk auf die Stabilität der Finanzmärkte legen"

Ben Bernanke gesteht ein, dass bei den Notenbanken ein Umdenken stattfinden muss:

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said Tuesday that he is more open to using the Fed’s interest rate policies to combat financial bubbles, arguing that in the wake of the economic crisis, central bankers must rethink their assumptions.

Before the economic upheaval, Bernanke acknowledged, central banks viewed financial stability as a “junior partner” to the task of tweaking interest rates to try to boost growth. But both stability and monetary policy are of vital importance to the U.S. economy, he said.
