%X This thesis intends to investigate the asymmetric effects of monetary policy on regional prices within Fiji. The monetary policy shocks are generated by removing any systemic response to future economic conditions from the actual policy rate that is set by the Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF). This method of generating shocks involves utilizing the data and forecasts that the Reserve Bank of Fiji (RBF) employs when implementing monetary policy, thus ensuring that any systematic response to future economic conditions by the RBF is controlled for.
