This study analyzes the effectiveness of monetary policy transmission of emerging market countries, both short and long-term in maintaining economic stability and reducing poverty. The main problem in this paper is that monetary transmission is incapable of controlling the economy and reducing poverty. There are five countries selected such as India, Brazil, China, Russia, and Indonesia. Long-term prediction analysis using Vector Auto Regression (VAR) model is performed to predict five emerging market countries using Regression Panel. It results suggest that monetary policy transmission affecting the number of poor people should be controlled in three stages. In the short-term, the transmission of export variables and inflation controls the number of poor people. In the medium-term, the control of the number of poor people uses variables of inflation and exports while in the long-term uses exports and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Overall, all economic variables of emerging market countries are greatly influenced by the fluctuations of each country's exports, then by food price stability as measured by food price inflation. The result of regression panel analysis is known that the factor that most influence the poor people in emerging market country is GDP. Exports also affect poor people such as Indonesia, China, and Russia. Inflation also causes poor people like India and Brazil. The countries that have the most impact on economic fluctuations on the number of poor people are India, Indonesia, China, Brazil, and Russia.

In the past two decades Inflation targeting has been the monetary policy framework of choice for many developed nations around the world. A significant number of emerging market countries have gradually subscribed to the same monetary regime, but with different levels of success. Certain differences among emerging markets in terms of overall macroeconomic environment, strength of basic monetary policy tools, and institutional development have had an effect on the performance of inflation targeting. This paper focuses on the fulfilment of basic preconditions for implementation of inflation targeting in emerging market countries, and on results and challenges of inflation targeting implementation in Serbia more than six years after its introduction. Special attention is paid to high dollarization (euroization), which poses a serious challenge for inflation targeting, and to modification of the Taylor rule for dollarized economies. For inflation targeting in Serbia to be more effective, a (gradual) decrease in overall dollarization (euroization), fiscal discipline and sustainability, and an increase in the independence and capacity of the central bank are needed, among other things.

Testing the Trilemma Conditions of Indonesian EconomyThe key challenge for monetary policy in emerging market countries is simultaneously maintain monetary independence, exchange rate stability, and join with financial integration. This reseach explain the interaction of monetary policy in Indonesia over time to answer those three challenge with a Trilemma conditions. This research evaluate the Bank Indonesia’s decision to change the exchange rate regime and apllied ”inflation targeting”. The methods include to build the Trilemma’ index and testing the Trilemma with constant regression. The results indicate that Bank Indonesia has tradeoff in determining the combination of monetary policy objectives. Tradeoff for Bank Indonesia more heavy under free floating due to fear of floating’s problem and tradeoff lighter when inflation targeting applied.Keywords: Trilemma Hyphotesis; Different Exchange Rate Rezim; Inflation Targeting AbstrakTantangan utama kebijakan moneter di negara berkembang adalah secara bersamaan dapat mempertahankan independensi moneter, menjaga stabilitas nilai tukar, dan terlibat dalam integrasi keuangan global. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana kombinasi kebijakan moneter di Indonesia dari waktu ke waktu dapat menjawab ketiga tantangan tersebut dengan memenuhi kondisi Trilemma. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi keputusan Bank Indonesia mengubah rezim nilai tukar dan keputusan menerapkan target inflasi. Metode yang digunakan yaitu membangun indeks Trilemma dan mengujinya menggunakan constant regression. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Bank Indonesia menghadapi tradeoff dalam menentukan kombinasi tujuan kebijakannya. Tradeoff lebih berat ketika periode rezim free floating karena adanya masalah fear of floating, sedangkan tradeoff lebih ringan ketika penerapan inflation targeting.
