 The 2% Inflation Target Regime Should Now Be Retired
==========

The article argues that central bankers should abandon the 2% inflation target regime and adopt a more flexible approach. The author suggests that the failure of economic models and the presence of economic and geopolitical uncertainty require a monetary system that can adapt to changing circumstances. The article emphasizes the need for a flexible inflation range that reflects reality rather than a fixation on a constant 2% target.
