‘Hossain''s book The Evolution of Central Banking and Monetary Policy in the Asia-Pacific is a welcome contribution to the understanding of the impact of different monetary policy frameworks on macroeconomic outcomes in the region. Through selected case studies focusing on twelve different countries at varying stages of development, the book brings to the table a nice blend of rich description about their historical evolution of monetary policies, as well as a competent empirical analysis of important macroeconomic variables yielding insightful policy lessons.’
