Summary: | Central banks concerned with inflation performance almost invariably seek to distinguish between a generalized or persistent component of the measured aggregate rate of inflation-driven by demand pressures and expectations-and supply-driven, essentially transitory inflation developments associated with movements in relative prices. The more generalized, persistent element - usually described as "core" or "underlying" inflation - is regarded as a legitimate monetary policy concern, while the influence of specific relative price developments are generally regarded as transient "distortions" that should be largely ignored in forward-looking policy setting, as well as in backward-looking assessment of policy performance.
