BIS says Monetary policy has been exceptionally easy ; cautions on risks of accommodation

"the ultra-low policy rate environment was reinforced with large-scale asset purchase programmes....
The deviation of inflation from expected levels and questions surrounding the sources of price changes underscore an incomplete understanding of the inflation process, especially regarding its medium- and long-term drivers. 

At the same time, signs of growing financial imbalances around the globe highlight the risks of accommodative monetary policies. The persistence of those policies since the crisis casts doubt on the suitability of current monetary policy frameworks and suggests that resolving the tension between price stability and financial stability is the key challenge.  "
