Abstract
The most obvious feature of the period preceded the global financial crisis is the reduction of high inflation rates across the world. Moreover, the reduction of inflation coincided with more stable growth rates and financial stability. Thus, central bank communities and many economists have strongly advocated the view that achieving price stability ensures financial stability. Nevertheless, the decline in inflation was accompanied by profound development in financial markets that set the stage for the current crisis. All of these development show that price stability is not enough for financial stability. This study examines what we have learned and how we changed our thoughts about inflation targeting strategy in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

Abstract
Küresel finansal krizden önceki dönemin en önemli yönü dünya genelinde süren yüksek enflasyon oranlarının düşürülmüş olmasıdır. Bunun ötesinde enflasyon oranlarındaki bu düşüş istikrarlı büyümenin ve finansal istikrarın olduğu bir dönemde yaşanmıştır. Bu yüzden merkez bankası çevreleri ve birçok ekonomist fiyat istikrarının finansal istikrarı sağladığı görüşünü güçlü bir şekilde savunmuşlardır. Ne var ki, enflasyon oranındaki düşüş aynı zamanda son krize zemin hazırlayan finansal piyasalardaki bazı gelişmelerle birlikte yaşanmıştır. Tüm bu gelişmeler fiyat istikrarının finansal istikrar için yeterli olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma 2007-2009 finansal krizinden sonra enflasyon hedeflemesi stratejisi ile ilgili düşüncelerimizin nasıl değiştiği ve ne tür dersler çıkardığımızı incelemektedir.
