Several economists argue that central bankers should consider asset prices along with consumer prices in their inflation targets. The problem with this suggestion is that nobody can prove definitively that share prices are rising because of speculative pressure rather than a genuinely improved outlook.

According to the text:

Item 1 - Monetary policy should be used to curb unduly escalation of asset prices. Such is the suggestion of several economists.
