Together with the European Central Bank and other euro area central banks, we work towards achieving the primary objective of the single monetary policy – maintaining price stability in the euro area. Price stability is best maintained by aiming for 2 per cent inflation over the medium term. This target is symmetric. It means that negative and positive deviations from the target are equally undesirable. Stable prices contribute to sustainable economic growth and the improvement of resident welfare.
