This paper consider to what extent the inflation targeting can be adopted by some selected MENA countries. To this end we propose a rule-based monetary policy framework which rests on flexible inflation forecast based rule targeting.  The aim of this paper is to estimate a reaction function that fits the inflation targeting framework in accordance with the specificity of the transmission mechanism into these countries.
