description In recent years, Samoa has emerged to be the most successful economy amongst all Pacific island countries. Its achievements of low inflation and high growth rates were due to sustained fiscal adjustment and appropriate monetary policy measures. This paper undertakes an empirical study of transmission mechanism of monetary policy by adopting a VAR approach and using quarterly data over a 17-year period (1990-2006). The study findings are that money and exchange rate channels are important channels in transmitting monetary impulses to Samoa’s real sector, followed by credit and interest rate channels.
