The Behaviour of Interest Groups in Trade and Industry Towards Monetary Policy and Central Banks

Focusing on the interaction between private interest groups and monetary policy, this study examines how these groups attempt to influence central banks, particularly the Deutsche Bundesbank in Germany. It delves into their motivations for engagement or avoidance and analyzes their communication strategies with policymakers. The research also considers the implications of the single European currency and the establishment of the European Central Bank, evaluating how institutional frameworks and policy issues shape interest group behavior in monetary decision-making.
