摘要:Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards low and
stable inflation. The operational target for monetary policy
is annual consumer price inflation of approximately 2.5%
over time. In general, direct effects on consumer prices
resulting from changes in interest rates, taxes, excise duties
and extraordinary temporary disturbances shall not
be taken into account. The operational target provides
economic agents with an anchor for inflation expectations.
When there is confidence in the inflation target, monetary
policy can also contribute to stabilising developments in
output and employment.
