price stability
Steady purchasing power
Price stability is a state in which the general level of prices in an economy remains relatively constant over time, with low and predictable inflation.
Central banks typically target price stability as a primary goal, often aiming for inflation around two percent annually.
The opposite conditions—rapid inflation or deflation—erode purchasing power and make economic planning difficult: The Federal Reserve's mandate includes maintaining price stability.
