Abstract:
The Philippines is one of the countries in the ASEAN region that is regularly hit by natural calamities and these catastrophic events entail adverse macroeconomic impact. This study aims to determine the optimal monetary policy response amidst disaster-related shocks to the macroeconomy. The study has found that a discretionary exchange rate policy is more optimal relative to the rule-based inflation targeting policy as a response to unanticipated disaster-related shocks.
