斯坦福大学—世界上许多央行已经根据2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）和导致疫情大流行的经验，正式审查其货币政策战略。不幸的是，他们似乎从所面临的挑战中吸取了错误的教训。
最先完成这一进程的是美国联邦储备系统，它决定转向一种新“灵活形式的平均通胀目标制”策略，这是美联储主席杰罗姆•鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）在8月份杰克逊霍尔货币政策会议（Jackson Hole monetary policy conference）年会演讲中所提出的。同样，欧洲央行行长拉加德（Christine Lagarde）最近在第21届欧洲央行观察家会议(ECB Watchers)上表示，欧洲央行正在进行其 “货币政策战略审评估”。而据日本央行行长黑田东彦（Haruhiko Kuroda）透露，目前正与首相菅义伟的新政府讨论如何应对疫情，以及新货币政策战略是否妥当。
从这些讨论来看，此前似乎有一项改革整个国际货币体系的行动在进行，每个国家或地区都采取与美联储相似的战略，不过要根据自身情况进行调整。但现在看来已经不是这样了。“至少，”前首席经济学家、欧洲央行董事会成员奥特马尔·伊辛（Otmar Issing）认为，“其他央行不应盲从美联储的新战略。”
