Forward Guidance
Forward guidance is a central bank communications tool that describes the intended path of policy rates or other policy actions to influence market expectations about future monetary conditions. By signaling policymakers' likely responses to evolving conditions, it helps shape current financial conditions.
Example: For example, in 2012-2014, the Federal Reserve provided forward guidance indicating that the federal funds rate would remain near zero for an extended period, helping to anchor expectations about future monetary conditions.
