\n    Last week in global monetary policy the central banks of Chile and Peru continued their easing cycles while the Philippines ratcheted up rates further as geopolitical tensions, including the possible independence of Scotland, dominated sentiment in financial markets.
    Amid the growing prospects of armed intervention by an international coalition in Syria and Iraq, there was uplifting news from the euro area where finance ministers last Friday showed their willingness to support the European Central Bank\u2019s (ECB) plea for fiscal stimulus and structural reforms to help stimulate demand now that its rates are at rock bottom and asset purchases over the coming months will help enlarge its balance sheet.
     Through the first 37 weeks of this year, the 90 central banks followed by Central Bank News have cut their policy rates 48 times, or 14.2 percent of all policy decisions, up from 12 percent at the end of the first half and 12 percent at the end of the first quarter.
    Meanwhile, rates have been raised 36 times, or 10.6 percent of all policy decisions, up from 9.3 percent at the end of June and 8.7 percent at the end of March.<\/p>\n
