Table of contents
Price stability means inflation stays low, steady, and predictable so households and businesses can plan ahead. It is the primary mandate of the ECB for the eurozone.
When prices are stable, your salary and savings keep reasonably predictable purchasing power. Wild swings in inflation or deflation make long-term budgeting harder.
The ECB's 2% target
The ECB aims for 2% inflation over the medium term. Slightly positive inflation encourages spending and investment while avoiding the risks of persistent deflation. Policy tools include ECB interest rates and, when needed, quantitative easing.
You cannot control macro policy, but you can align personal finances with the environment: earn on deposits with Savings Accounts, lock rates with Term Deposits, and use Budgeting to handle everyday price changes.
