摘要:Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards low
and stable inflation. The operational target of 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.
