Solution

The answer to this question is: the AD (Aggregate Demand) curve to shift leftward.

Here's why:

  1. The central bank controls the interest rate to influence the economy. When the central bank lowers its price target, it usually means that it wants to reduce inflation.

  2. To achieve this, the central bank will increase the interest rate. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which reduces investment and spending in the economy.

  3. This decrease in spending causes a decrease in aggregate demand.

  4. On a graph of the AD-AS (Aggregate Demand-Aggregate Supply) model, a decrease in aggregate demand is represented by a leftward shift of the AD curve.

So, when the central bank keeps the interest rate controlled, a fall in its price target will immediately cause the AD curve to shift leftward.
