Answer:

a committee of equally well-qualified people with a wide range of views

Explanation:

The central function of the central bank's monetary policy is to keep inflation under control. If this happens, it is possible that the Central Bank will use monetary policy in a second moment to stimulate economic activity and GDP. In this context, I would strongly recommend that the monetary policy decision be taken by a technical collegiate with different perspectives. This choice is justified by the great importance of monetary policy for the financial system and consequently for society as a whole, since if an inappropriate monetary policy is adopted, the consequences can be severe, such as inflationary processes and exchange rate volatility.
