Riassunto:During the 1980s, the instruments and objectives of many central banks underwent transformation. Drawing on a study of the Belgian case, this article sheds light on a previously underexplored aspect of this turning point: The anonymization of central bankers’ interlocutors.

The result is a new communication effort, designed to ensure that the central bank’s interventions are perceived, understood, and obeyed by financial market professionals.
