How could the central bank react to the change in velocity


Suppose that natural real output in the country of Eudemonia grows at a steady rate of 3 percent per year. In the past, velocity has been approximately constant, and the Eudemonian central bank has maintained a target rate of growth of 4 percent per year for the money stock. What would be the resulting rate of inflation? Now suppose that the introduction of Internet banking allows people to make transactions online without holding large amounts of currency or bank balances. As Internet banking spreads, velocity begins to increase at a rate of 3 percent per year. What will happen to the rate of inflation is money growth is unchanged? How could the central bank react to the change in velocity if it pursued an NGDP target instead of a money stock target?
