DNB is all about financial stability
Stable prices, smooth and safe payments and robust and reliable financial institutions. These are essential preconditions for a healthy economy and prosperity in the Netherlands.
Monetary policy
The stated objective of European monetary policy is to maintain price stability, which has been defined as inflation below but close to 2%. Monetary decisions are made by the ECB Governing Council, which consists of the central bank governors of the euro countries plus the ECB Executive Board. It does have a means to control inflation in a roundabout way: interest rates.
