WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - Providing credible explanations for moves in inflation is essential for central banks to be able to control it, Bank of England policymaker Catherine Mann said on Thursday. "It is not who has the best (inflation) target, but who explains that best is going to determine to what extent we are going to be able to get back to our objectives," Mann told a conference hosted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "I think it's going to be hard to do that, harder than the last 20 years," she added. "We are looking at a regime change here."
